Review of the Preliminary Social and Environmental Strategic Assessment of the River Stabilisation Plan - Bangladesh

Détails significatifs

The Jamuna-Padma-Lower Meghna river system is highly dynamic and has the third largest discharge of all rivers in the world. These rivers cause erosion of riverbanks, resulting in many problems. 

To tackle these problems the government of Bangladesh is developing a River Stabilisation Plan as well as a Regional Master Plan for the period until 2040. These plans are made within the framework of the ongoing ADB-funded Flood and Riverbank Erosion Risk Management Investment Program ’2014-2023 (FRERMIP), implemented by the Ministry of Water Resources (MoWR) and the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB).
