![]() After super cyclones Sidr (2007) and Aila (2009) struck the water logging that includes more area (ADB, 2007 ADB, 2011). In 1960s, the Government of East Pakistan implemented a project called “Coastal Embankment Project (CEP)”, to convert a brackish water zone to fresh water zone, cultivating more crops and water logging solution with funding agencies including USAID (BWDB, 2013 Uttaran, 2013). As a result the small rivers of the lower part of the Gangetic delta gradually start to set up and in this cause, massive water logging creates. About 150 years ago this area was disconnected from the flow of Mathabhanga River, which was connected to the Ganges River (Rahaman, 2009). This flood plain is the lower part of the Gangetic delta including Kapotakshi, Salta, Hari-Mukteshwari, Buri-Bhadra, Betna and Sholmari River catchment ( Brammer, 2012).At a time the Kapotakshi River was connected with the Ganges River. The six sub-districts are Tala, Kolaroa and Satkhira-Sadar in Satkhira district Paikgacha in Khulna district Monirampur and Keshabpur in Jessore district which are most effected by long time water logging ( OXFAM, 2011 FPCO, 1993 ). Monsoon floods are beneficial for increasing soil fertility, but more than normal floods and long-term water logging generate agricultural, economical, and structural infrastructural damages ( GOB, 2009 FPCO, 1993 ). Heavy rain of monsoon period creates severe water logging in these particular areas. The south-west coastal region of Bangladesh covering the Districts of Jessore, Satkhira, Khulna and Bageraht suffers massive water logging for the last two decades due to insufficient upstream water supply and river bed rising ( UNDP, 1989 ). Land have been water logged during TRM implementation period. The geo-spatial analysis denoted,Ībout 5090 acres of agricultural land and about 729 acres of homestead Operational land Image (OLI) satellite images. Have been used following the NDWI in Arc GIS for water logging areaĭetestation using Landsat Enhance Thematic Mapper (ETM) and Landsat Primary and secondary data have been used. ![]() In this circumstance, this studyįocused on the consequences of the TRM on water logging in the coastal area With basic consideration of silt management. The middle of September, 2011 the Tidal River Management (TRM) projectĪpproved at the study site for four years to develop the water logging problem ![]() Region of Bangladesh, especially in Satkhira, Khulna and Jessore district. Water logging and siltation turn into a serious problem in the south-western Sedimentation creates a large number of sandbars inside the river. The riverīed rises due to insufficient upstream water supply. Most of the riversĬarry a huge amount of sediment from upstream piedmont area. Coastal delta areas of BangladeshĬonvey multiple impacts of climate change worth-hit. Bangladesh is a floodplain dominated country.
