16. Appendix

17. Shoreline Restoration
• Strategy 1: Reforestation
• Planting seedlings along cleared shoreline
– Decrease storm surge
– Shoreline retention
• Naluvedapathy example
– Indian village affected by tsunami
– Planted 80,244 Casuarina saplings
– Completely protected from tsunami winds and
rain after 2 years
– 17 –

18. Mangrove farms
– 18 –
• Prevents erosion, builds up ecosystem
• Hire farmers to plant, infuses money into
economy
• Subsidies for land owners that continue
upkeep of mangrove farms

19. Need for Sustainable energy
– 19 –
• National natural gas and electric power shortage
– Market for sustainable energy source
– Small reserves of oil and coal, but large natural gas
resources.
• Electricity can improve farming business and fishing
industry
– Shrimp unable to be exported because of unsafe
processing
• Tap into established power grid to export energy to
rest of the country
Resilience
Building
Renewable
energy

20. Wind farms
– 20 –
• Cyclone proof
• $23,000
• Pilot project built with a few
• Outside investors
– Government
– Renewable Energy Policy of Bangladesh
– Kyoto Protocol
• Carbon Credits through Clean Development Mechanism
– Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee
– Grameen Shakti
– Sustainable Energy Development Authority
• Paying landowners to use property
• Constructed and maintained by Vergnet (France)
– 275 kW / hr
• Average household uses 136 kW / hr per annum

21. Tidal power
– 21 –
• Constructed on sluice gates on embankments
– $4,270 per power plant
– 2~5 meter tidal head/height rise and fall
• Create pond on land side for shrimp farming
• Rice paddies on banks
• Electricity used for fish processing, farming
• Seek supplemental funding
– Rural Electrification Board (REB)
– Centre for Mass Education in Science (CMES)
– Grameen Bank
– Institute for Sustainability and Technology Policy (ISTP)
– Tidal Energy Australia (TEA)

22. Tidal power
– 22 –
Tide coming in
Estuary

23. Sustainable Aquaculture
– 23 –
• Current practices degrade prevents mangrove
destruction
• Create fishing sanctuaries
• Electric power from alternative energy sources
• Ice produced with energy from wind and tide used
in packing of shrimp and fish
• Processing harvest with energy from wind and tide
increases distance of export

24. Renewable Energy
– 24 –
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
• Create pilot windmill
• Seek outside
investors
• Build embankments
Windmills
• Create pilot tide
power plant
• Build embankments
• Seek outside
investors
• Utilize energy for
farming, fish processing
• Seek outside investors
• Build more plants and
embankments
• Sell charged batteries to
locals
• Build more windmills
• Build tube wells
attached to the
windmills
• Seek outside
investors
• Connect to
national power
grid for energy
distribution
Tidalpower
Energy conservation is the foundation of energy independence.

25. Roads
– 25 –
• Needed because unable to get supplies for building
• Cyclone proof
• Provide skilled workers and distribution center
• Seeking outside investors, Partnerships with
– Rural Transport Improvement Project (World Bank) $180 M
budget
– National Land Transport Policy
– Road Maintenance and Improvement Project
• $117 M budget
• Focus on fixing secondary roads
– National, regional, zila roads
Connecting
Resources
Roads

26. Embankments
– 26 –
• On coastal fronts
• Outside investors
– Coastal Embankment
Rehabilitation & Reconstruction
Project (World Bank)
o an estimate cost of $
53.00 million budget
o Use recycled materials to create
embankments
o Cost is based on acres being
used and materials already
available
• Creation of sluice gates for
tidal power
– an estimate cost of $31,000 for
200 acres

27. Clean water
• Community Involvement issue
• Places about 70 million people at risk
• NGOs distribute Family filters for arsenic
removal
• $35 per year per family
• Arsenic poisoning not a serious concern for
this area
• Tube wells raised by NGOs after cyclone
• Brake fern (Pteris vittata ) is effective in
extracting arsenic
