  • 1 Hydrological Impacts of Climate Change on Rice
    Hydrological impacts of climate change on rice cultivated riparian wetlands in the Upper Meghna River Basin (Bangladesh and India) Mohammed M. Rahman a,b,*, Julian R. Thompson b, and Roger J. Flower b a Department of Irrigation and Water Management, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh b Wetland Research Unit, Department of Geography, University College London, London WC1E 6BT, UK * Corresponding author: email [email protected] Tel: +88 01717 825850; Fax: +88 091 61510 Abstract Riparian depressional wetlands (haors) in the Upper Meghna River Basin of Bangladesh are invaluable agricultural resources. They are completely flooded between June and November and planted with Boro rice when floodwater recedes in December. However, early harvest period (April/May) floods frequently damage ripening rice. A calibrated/validated Soil and Water Assessment Tool for riparian wetland (SWATrw) model is perturbed with bias free (using an improved quantile mapping approach) climate projections from 17 general circulation models (GCMs) for the period 2031–2050. Projected mean annual rainfall increases (200–500 mm per 7–10%). However, during the harvest period lower rainfall (21–75%) and higher evapotranspiration (1–8%) reduces river discharge (5–18%) and wetland inundation (inundation fraction declines of 0.005–0.14). Flooding risk for Boro rice consequently declines (rationalized flood risk reductions of 0.02–0.12). However, the loss of cultivable land (15.3%) to increases in permanent haor inundation represents a major threat to regional food security. Keywords haor wetlands; Boro rice; floods; Bangladesh; climate change; SWAT 1 Introduction The potential consequences of climate change on hydrological processes and associated sectors such as water resources, agriculture, aquatic ecology and human livelihoods have been extensively documented (e.g.

  • Historical Geography and Demography of Colonial Northern Bengal
    Chapter I Historical Geography and Demography of Colonial Northern Bengal The present chapter seeks to historicize the geographical transformations and ecological vulnerabilities during the colonial periods in northern Bengal. The chapter also intends to explain the demographic transformations of northern Bengal shaped by the environmental factors and natural disasters occurred during the period of the study. Apart from the geographical and demographical changes the chapter will also focus on the political construction of the northern Bengal districts which had gone through several territorial and administrative adjustments and transfers of lands among each other even in the first half of the twentieth century. In order to analyse the geographical characteristics, the river system, change of river course and formation of new lands seemed to be the most decisive factor for the geographical construction of the region. Northern Bengal had a great variety of topographical structures which extended from the Darjeeling Himalayan ranges to the riverine inundated agricultural tracts. Niharranjan Ray, while describing the northern boundary of Bengal, has argued that the north of Bengal is bounded up by the Sikkim and the snowy Himalayan peak of Kanchenjungha below which there are Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling districts.1 The districts of Jalpaiguri, Darjeeling and the State of Cooch Behar were overwhelmingly populated by the hilly tribes viz. Lepcha, Limbu, Koch, Rajbanshi, and Bhutia; and the north-eastern boundary in the ancient time was extended up to the Brahmaputra river which demarcated the eastern and western boundary of Pundrabardhan and Kamrup State respectively.2 H. Blochmann has mentioned about the five ‘districts’ of Bengal during pre-medieval period viz.

  • Fish Assemblage and Structure As Well As Hydrological Parameters at Karatoya Fish Sanctuary, Panchagarh, Bangladesh
    Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences 18(1) 140-162 2019 DOI: 10.22092/ijfs.2018.117727 Fish assemblage and structure as well as hydrological parameters at Karatoya Fish Sanctuary, Panchagarh, Bangladesh Md. Rashidul I.1*; Md. Jewel M.1; Shirin S2. Received: August 2016 Accepted: February 2017 Abstract Spatiotemporal variations in fish assemblage structure was studied from January to December 2015 in order to understand the impacts of the sanctuary on ichthyo-faunal diversity and to determine the indices and major hydrological factors in six sampling stations of Karatoya Fish Sanctuary sectioned in the River Karatoya. A total of 69 fish species were obtained from this sanctuary including 21 threatened species where Aspidoparia jaya, Pethia ticto, Puntius sophore, Canthophrys gongota and Barilius barna were the major contributory species (>4.17%) both in space and time. The uppermost species richness and abundance were viewed in January and lowest in May. Based on analysis of similarities (ANOSIM), fish assemblages were significantly different in all stations (p<0.001, R=0.15) and months (p<0.001, R=0.62). Through two-dimensional nonmetric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) and cluster analysis based on Bray-Curtis similarity index, assemblages were alienated into two groups at a value of 42% and 28% partition for station and month, respectively. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) recognized considerable relations between the number -1 Downloaded from jifro.ir at 2:44 +0330 on Sunday September 26th 2021 of fishes and hydrological parameters where dissolved oxygen (mg L ) and water temperature (ºC) were the main leading factors in shaping the fish assemblage structure.

Abstract: The research was carried out to enlist the fish species diversity along with diversity indices Article history: Received 2 July 2016 of existing fish species of Chalan Beel, Bangladesh. During the study, a total of 78 fish species Accepted 21 September 2016 including 69 native and 9 exotic fish species were recorded belonging 10 orders and 26 families. The Available online 25 October 2016 values of Shannon-Weiner diversity index (H') indicated a good spread of fish population in Chalan Beel although the number of species was not found satisfactory. The degradation of water quality Keywords: due to domestic discharges, jute rotting, excessive usage of agro-chemicals, indiscriminate fishing Fish Fauna Shannon-Weiner activity etc. were revealed as the causes of declining the fish diversity of this Beel. The Margalef’s Margalef’s richness richness index (d) expressed the species richness of Chalan Beel that started in July by joining new Pielou’s index fish population with the existing fish species and reached gradually highest in November after breeding. Pielou’s index (J) showed the equal distribution pattern of fish species throughout the sampling area indicating a stable but incompatible habitat for existing fish species.
