Sustainability of Bangladesh Delta

Sustainability of Bangladesh Delta by Md. Khalequzzaman offers a thorough examination of the challenges facing water resources development in Bangladesh under climate change. The book critically evaluates the shortcomings of past policies and practices, providing a clear framework for sustainable development across all water-related sectors. It outlines the strategies and policy shifts needed to reformulate the proposed Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 (BDP2100), basing its recommendations on a deep understanding of the natural and geologic processes driving delta formation. The author argues for an ecological approach to water planning, one that discourages unnecessary structural interventions in the natural functioning of rivers, floodplains, and delta-building processes. This work is a practical guide for policymakers, researchers, and students seeking sustainable solutions for one of the world’s most vulnerable deltas.
