- W2738198568 abstract "Climate change, flood and flood management: the case of Bangladesh Bangladesh is located at the bottom of three great river systems: the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and the Meghna (GBM). The combined catchment area of the GBM river systems is 1.75 million sq km, of which Bangladesh accounts for only about 7 per cent. But, the country drains to the sea over 92 per cent of the total run-off generated in the combined catchment area, 80 per cent during the five monsoon months, June-October. The country is, therefore, particularly liable to flooding due to run-off from upper co-riparians but also, to an extent, as a result of precipitation within the country. Flooding of 20-30 per cent of the country occurs with monotonous regularity; but the people have learnt to respond to these floods reasonably well as they have been living with such floods all their lives. However, varying extents of damages and losses are certainly caused by these floods, although not usually displacement of people. From time to time, disastrous floods occur in the country. When all the three river systems rise together, the flood becomes hugely devastating. The climate change phenomenon has been adding fuel to the fire. The frequency of major floods has been increasing over recent decades; and, as a consequence of climate change, there may, in future, be more intense, longerduration, and more frequent floods in the country. Effective flood management calls for a three pronged approach: (i) purposeful government policies including both structural and non-structural measures; (ii) regional cooperation in flood management in terms of information and experience sharing and joint action where feasible, and (iii) community approaches to flood management in terms of increasing the capacity of the flood-affected people to undertake effective action towards minimizing losses, damages, and sufferings caused by floods. The existing realities, potentials, prospects, and problems concerning these approaches are discussed." @default.
