Flood forecasting in a highly developed urban area
Dhaka, one of the fastest-growing megacities, is highly vulnerable to urban flooding due to rapid urbanization, inadequate drainage systems, and climate change-induced extreme weather events. This study develops a comprehensive urban flood forecasting system for a highly developed urban area of Dhaka City using the MIKE+ hydrodynamic model. The system integrates hydrological and hydraulic components, modeling complex interactions among surface ru…
Routledge Handbook of Water Diplomacy
In the last two decades, there has been significant progress in crystallizing an autonomous human right to water (HR2W) based on the existing international rules and practices of policymakers and stakeholders. The recognition of the HR2W is vital to secure other human rights, such as the right to life, health and well-being. After briefly introducing the human rights discourse on water, this chapter explores the emergence of the HR2W and its lega…
Cultural Assimilation and Internal Changes in Diasporic Rakhain Peoples of Patuakhali District of Bangladesh
The Rakhains are an ethnic group of diasporic peoples currently living in different parts of Bangladesh. Following their exodus in 1784, they formed enclaves of settlements in Cox’s Bazar, Chittagong Hill-tracts, Noakhali, Patuakhali and Barguna. This paper scrutinizes how cultural assimilation has impacted on the lifestyles of the diasporic Rakhain communities living in Patuakhali, a district in the Southern region of Bangladesh; and it also dem…
Sero-prevalence and risk factors for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 infection in women and children in a rural district of Bangladesh
Background: Bangladesh reported its first COVID-19 case on March 8, 2020. Despite lockdowns and promoting behavioural interventions, as of December 31, 2021, Bangladesh reported 1.5 million confirmed cases and 27 904 COVID-19-related deaths. To understand the course of the pandemic and identify risk factors for SARs-Cov-2 infection, we conducted a cohort study from November 2020 to December 2021 in rural Bangladesh. Methods: After obtaining infor…
Challenges in integrating disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation
Climate change is widely acknowledged as responsible for increasing the scale and intensity of disasters. Literature stresses the necessity to link disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) to make more efficient use of scarce resources and avoid overlapping efforts. However, integrating interventions for DRR and CCA remains a challenge because these two concepts originated from separate research-experts and are articulate…
Role and relevance of three enabling conditions to resolve inter-provincial water conflicts in the Indus basin within Pakistan
Addressing water access, allocation, and use becomes a complex problem when it crosses multiple boundaries: political, jurisdictional, and societal, as well as ecological, biogeochemical, and physical. This paper focuses on transboundary water management (TWM) problems among the riparians with conflicting needs and competing demands. The complexity of TWM problems arises because of interdependencies among variables, processes, actors, and institu…
Addressing the supply-demand gap in shared rivers using water diplomacy framework
The question of how to govern and manage transboundary river basin for competing and often conflicting demands due to limited supplies continues to be an issue of concern, conflict, and cooperation. A key novelty of this paper is the use of the Water Diplomacy Framework (WDF) to address supply-demand mismatch using the notion of collaborative problem-solving and joint fact-finding. It builds on innovative applications of game-theoretic approaches…
Distributing flood shelters for disaster risk reduction
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to inspect disaster risk reduction (DRR) challenges from a political economy (PE) perspective and to explore how PE determinants facilitate or hinder effective DRR in Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study, using semi-structured in-depth interviews, official documents and literature review has been conducted to explore the current process and practices of DRR in Bangladesh. The specif…

Water Diplomacy
Water is the resource that will determine the wealth, welfare, and stability of many countries in the twenty-first century. This book offers a new approach to managing water that will overcome the conflicts that emerge when the interactions among natural, societal, and political forces are overlooked. At the heart of these conflicts are complex water networks. In managing them, science alone is insufficient and so is policy-making that doesn't ta…

Japan has just replaced the United States as the world's top donor of foreign aid. Yet many, particularly in the United States, believe that while Japan is doing more, it is not doing enough. To study this issue, the Council on Foreign Relations convened a group of distinguished Japanese and American aid experts, academics, and officials from the two countries and multilateral development institutions. Their Findings, contained in a series of ess…
