Prospects and challenges in development of ground water resources of bangladesh Jahangir Alam
Prospects and Challenges in Development of Ground Water Resources of Bangladesh:
Groundwater is an important resource for livelihoods and the food security of billions of people, and especially in booming Asia’s agricultural economies. Globally, groundwater provides approximately 50% of current potable water supplies, 40% of the industrial water demand, and 20% of the water used for irrigation (UNESCO 2003).
The Groundwater Information Center, California (2003) reported that although surface water and groundwater appeared to be two distinct sources of water but in fact they are not. Surface water and groundwater are basically one singular source of water connected physically in the hydrologic cycle.
Therefore, Development of Ground Water Resources of Bangladesh is an important issue.
OBJECTIVES:
To know the current status of Groundwater in Bangladesh
To find out the challenges of Groundwater problem in Bangladesh
To know the adaptation against Challenges of Groundwater
Why groundwater is important:
Groundwater makes up nearly 30% of all the world’s freshwater; only 0.2% is found in lakes, streams or rivers and 70% is bound up in snow and ice on mountains and in the polar regions.
Groundwater plays a number of very important roles in our environment and in our economies. In the environment it supports rivers, lakes and wetlands, especially through drier months when there is little direct input from rainfall.
The flow of groundwater into rivers as seepage through the river bed, known as base flow, can be essential to the health of wildlife and plants that live in the water.
Groundwater also responds slowly to changes in rainfall, and so it stays available during the summer and during droughts when rivers and streams have dried up.
Groundwater doesn’t require expensive reservoirs to store water in before it is used.
Physical Context:
Bangladesh is located at the lowermost reaches of Ganges – Brahmaputra - Meghna river system which drains 1.72 million km2 of land. Crucially, Bangladesh itself comprises only 8% of the watershed.
Generally, four major physiographic units exist at the surface of Bangladesh. These are:
Tertiary sediments in the northern and eastern hills
Pleistocene Terraces in the Madhupur and Barind Tracts
Recent (Holocene) floodplains of the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Meghna rivers and
The Delta covering the rest of the country.
Most of the present land surface of the country covered by the Holocene flood plains deposited by the GBM river systems.
Primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the commonest congenital urological abnormalities in children, which has been associated with an increased risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) and renal scarring, also called reflux nephropathy (RN).
While it is rare, women on dialysis have become pregnant. Of these pregnancies, about 20 percent will end in miscarriage. A full-term pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks; however, about 80 percent of dialysis pregnancies will only go about 32 weeks, resulting in a premature birth
A common viral infection of the nose and throat.
In contrast to the flu, a common cold can be caused by many different types of viruses. The condition is generally harmless and symptoms usually resolve within two weeks.
Symptoms include a runny nose, sneezing and congestion. High fever or severe symptoms are reasons to see a doctor, especially in children.
Most people recover on their own within two weeks. Over-the-counter products and home remedies can help control symptoms.
The major passages and structures of the upper respiratory tract include the nose or nostrils, nasal cavity, mouth, throat (pharynx), and voice box (larynx). The respiratory system is lined with a mucous membrane that secretes mucus. The mucus traps smaller particles like pollen or smoke.
The kidneys filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. As kidneys fail, waste builds up.
Symptoms develop slowly and aren't specific to the disease. Some people have no symptoms at all and are diagnosed by a lab test.
Medication helps manage symptoms. In later stages, filtering the blood with a machine (dialysis) or a transplant may be required.
Although the most important causes of kidney injury in late pregnancy are preeclampsia and the associated disorders eclampsia and HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels, low platelet count) syndrome, they will be discussed with the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
Hyperoxaluria occurs when you have too much oxalate in your urine. Oxalate is a natural chemical in your body, and it's also found in certain types of food. But too much oxalate in your urine can cause serious problems.
Nephrolithiasis is the term employed for kidney stones, also known as renal calculi, and they are crystal concretions formed typically in the kidney. Calculi typically form in the kidneys and ideally leave the body via the urethra without pain. Larger stones are painful and may need surgical intervention
A tibial shaft fracture occurs along the length of the bone, below the knee and above the ankle. It typically takes a major force to cause this type of broken leg. Motor vehicle collisions, for example, are a common cause of tibial shaft fractures.
A chi-squared test is a statistical hypothesis test that is valid to perform when the test statistic is chi-squared distributed under the null hypothesis, specifically Pearson's chi-squared test and variants
differences between the observed values
Two-way tables are used in statistical analysis to summarize the relationship between two categorical variables. Two-way tables are also known as contingency, cross-tabulation, or crosstab tables.
Data categories are groupings of data with common characteristics or features. They are useful for managing the data because certain data may be treated differently based on their classification. Understanding the relationship and dependency between the different categories can help direct data quality effort
Water management is the control and movement of water resources to minimize damage to life and property and to maximize efficient beneficial use. Good water management of dams and levees reduces the risk of harm due to flooding. Irrigation water management systems make the most efficient use of limited water supplies for agriculture.
Drainage management involves water budgeting and analysis of surface and sub-surface drainage systems. Sometimes water management involves changing practices, such as groundwater withdrawal rates, or allocation of water to different purposes.
A tracheostomy is an opening (made by an incision) through the neck into the trachea (windpipe). A tracheostomy opens the airway and aids breathing.
A tracheostomy may be done in an emergency, at the patient’s bedside or in an operating room. Anesthesia pain relief medication may be used before the procedure. Depending on the person’s condition, the tracheostomy may be temporary or permanent
A tracheal tube is a catheter that is inserted into the trachea for the primary purpose of establishing and maintaining a patent airway and to ensure the adequate exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Water is used intensively by various sectors such as agriculture, industry, and public. Increasing global water demand and the effects of climate change are leading to overuse of water resources in many regions.
A nasopharyngeal airway, also known as an NPA, nasal trumpet (because of its flared end), or nose hose, is a type of airway adjunct, a tube that is designed to be inserted into the nasal passageway to secure an open airway
An oropharyngeal airway (also known as an oral airway, OPA or Guedel pattern airway) is a medical device called an airway adjunct used in airway management.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
2. Introduction :
• India, country that occupies the greater part of South Asia. With roughly one-sixth of the world’s
total population, India is the second most populous country. Types of water resources Surface
water Resources Groundwater Resources.
• Management of water resources in India has been a challenge whose magnitude has risen
manifolds over the past 50 years due to a variety of reasons, notably the rising demands and
growing environmental degradation.
• Broadly, most of the challenges in water management in India can be categorized in the following
groups: (a) water availability, variability and increasing withdrawals, (b) environment and quality,
(c) project construction, (d) water sharing disputes, (e) water governance and institutions, and (f)
challenges induced due to climate and land-use cover changes.
• we discuss each of these challenges in detail. It is suggested that conservation of water and
management of variabilities should be a cornerstone of water resources management in India.
• This note also suggests remedies to address the challenges and covers new initiatives by the
Government of India
3. Water availability, variability and increasing
withdrawals
• All the rivers of India can be grouped into four classes:
• (i) Himalayan rivers,
• (ii) Deccan rivers,
• (iii) coastal rivers
• (iv) rivers of the inland drainage basin1.
• Figure shows the major rivers of India.
4. Three major issues concerning the variabilities in water resources in India
are:
• (i) India has large temporal variability in water availability, leading to, among other issues, disasters
such as floods and droughts.
• (ii) The regional mismatch between water availability and demands is high and the demands for
various uses are increasing rapidly while the availability is nearly the same.
• (iii) Withdrawal of water from surface and subsurface water bodies to meet growing demands is
rising and
• becoming unsustainable.
5. Variability in water availability:
• India faces large temporal variability in water availability, leading to, among other issues, disasters
such as floods and droughts.
• Due to monsoon climate in India, more than 70% of the annual precipitation takes place in a limited
period of about four months.
• Consequently, this is the period when the rivers carry more than 70–75% of the annual flows, at
times exceeding the capacity to safely pass this water.
• The remaining eight-month period accounts for the balance 25–30% of river flows and many rivers
do not flow for some summer months.
6. Increasing gap between water availability and demands:
• As the population of India is increasing, lifestyles are changing and economic activities are
increasing, the demand for water is also rapidly rising.
• Agriculture sector accounts for more than 85% of the annual water demand in the country. As there
is no major trend in annual rainfall in India, the gap between demand and supply of water is
increasing.
• In many regions, the demand is already much more than the supply, leading to water scarcity.
Unsustainable water withdrawals:
• To meet the increasing water demands, progressively larger quantities of water are being withdrawn
from surface and subsurface water bodies.
• Increasing withdrawals have adversely affected the health of many rivers in different reaches and
some rivers in different stretches have stopped flowing round the year.
• This is highly detrimental to the river as well as the environment.
7. Suggested Remedies:
• Three distinct actions are required: reduce demands, conserve water and move water across
geographies. First, all options should be exercised to check water demands in general, particularly
in regions facing water scarcity.
• Demands from the agriculture sector account for more than 80% of the total demands in India and
this sector provides the largest opportunity for water-saving.
• Estimates show that water use efficiencies in agriculture are very low in India; surface and
groundwater use efficiencies hover around 40% and 50%.
• Clearly, there is a huge scope to improve these efficiencies. As the current irrigation water use in the
country is about 550–600 bcm, about 20% rise in these efficiencies would yield enough water to
substantially meet the demands from environment and municipal sectors.
• Savings of this order are possible by adopting sprinklers, drips and other water saving measures.
• Farmers should be incentivized to save water by improving water use efficiency (per drop, more
crop), particularly in the regions where water availability is low.
8. Conserving flood flows:
• India has a monsoon climate and the rivers carry more than 70% of the annual flows during four
monsoon months.
• it is essential to conserve flood flows and use them to meet the demands in the lean season to a
larger extent. In places with limited groundwater, management of river flows in accordance with crop
water requirements is necessary to ensure food security for the nation, since the water and land
productivity of rainfed agriculture is much lower compared with irrigated agriculture.
• Water can be stored on or below the surface. Actions are needed at various levels. At the macro
level, it is important and essential to conserve surplus monsoon or flood flows, either in the storages
on the ground or below ground, since the flows in the remaining months are inadequate to meet the
various demands.
• To store water on the surface, storage reservoirs have to be developed. Good sites for storages are
limited in the country and numerous problems arise due to the submergence of forests,
displacement of population, threat to biodiversity, environmental issues, etc.
• To conserve water below the surface, suitable hydro-geology is a must and facilities for large-scale
managed aquifer recharge (MAR) need to be created.
9. Climate change:
• India is highly vulnerable to impacts of climate change on water resources due to its unique climate,
geography and topography.
• Warming of the lower atmosphere will impact snowfall. glaciers and snow cover, and crop water
requirements; increase in extreme weather will impact incidence of floods and droughts; rising sea
levels will increase flooding in coastal areas and seawater intrusion; rising temperatures will impact
the quality of water in rivers and lakes, and so on.
• Remedies suggested here will be helpful in lessening the vulnerabilities due to climate change and
increase resilience of the society.
• In addition, more focused R&D is needed to identify what changes are expected, and where and
how to initiate specific adaptations.
10. Rationalizing cropping patterns:
• Analysis of data shows that in the past five or six decades, cropping patterns across the country
have dramatically changed.
• Sugarcane which requires a large quantity of water is being cultivated at many regions of low
rainfall where it was not grown earlier. Similarly, rice is also cultivated in many such places.
• Deficit irrigation is another option to manage scarcity. It can help save about 10–15% of the
agricultural water demands without much reduction in crop yield.
• Crop pricing mechanism has also played a role in the shift in cropping pattern. Free supply of
electricity to farmers is partly responsible for overirrigation and wastage of water.
• It might be better to let the farmers pay for the energy consumed at normal rates and directly send
subsidy to their bank accounts to partly cover related expenditure.
11. Long-distance water transfer:
• India also faces substantial spatial mismatch between demand and supply as the places where
water is needed and those where it is available are frequently far apart.
Recycle and reuse:
• At present, very little quantity of water supplied is recycled and a considerable amount of water is
wasted in urban water supply networks due to leakages and thefts.
• Estimates show that about 40% of water from municipal supply for drinking purposes is lost due to
leakage or theft in some cities.
12. Dispute resolution and decision-making mechanisms:
• To avoid disputes related with inter-state issues, it would be helpful if all major rivers are gauged at
the state borders so that all stakeholders know exactly how much water is entering into a given
state.
• At present, we do not have a complete picture of water utilization at different places. Thus, it is
difficult to identify places where water is being wasted and where savings are possible.
• It would be helpful if water use is measured so that its wastage is checked.
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan:
• Students need to be educated for conservation of water and keeping our water bodies clean;
overexploitation of rivers should be stopped and adequate water should be allocated for river and
environment.
13. Water governance and institutions:
• India require significant transformation. The main reason is that practice of water management has
undergone large changes over the past four decades or so, and the profession is gradually
becoming more multidisciplinary.
• Besides having knowledge of hydrological principles, water professionals need to know about the
environment, forestry, agriculture, geology, meteorology, soil science, sociology, economics, law,
management and so on.
• It would be necessary to transform the existing organizations by inducting persons from key
relevant backgrounds and some tasks may be accomplished by outsourcing.
• A strong monitoring mechanism has to be developed by involving experts from the government
sector, academic and R&D institutions and nongovernmental organizations as well as individuals.
14. Conclusions:
• This paper has presented a broad view of the key challenges in water resources management in
India and suggest measures to resolve them.
• These challenges arise due to a range of causes – technical, socio-political and financial.
• Political will to urgently and firmly address the issues is necessary to find and implement the
solutions.
• An encouraging signal is the commitment/plan of GoI to provide water security to the entire
population by 2022–23 by way of adequate availability of water for living, agriculture, economic
development, ecology and environment.
• The goals set include:
• providing piped drinking water to every rural household by 2024,
• provide irrigation to all farms and improve water-use efficiency or produce more crop per drop,
• Encourage industries to utilize recycled/treated water and ensure zero discharge of untreated
effluents from industrial units.
15. Continue:
• Ensure uninterrupted and clean flow in the Ganga and other rivers and their tributaries; create
additional water storage capacity to ensure full utilization of the utilizable surface water resources
potential of 690 bcm, ensure long-term sustainability of finite groundwater resources, and ensure
proper operation and maintenance of water infrastructure with active participation of
farmers/consumers.
• Work has restarted on many WRD projects that were stalled for a long time due to different reasons.
• Sanitation drive initiated by the government will also benefit the water sector immensely in future.
• River rejuvenation efforts are beginning to show some results.
• Attainment of identified goals is possible by developing and adopting appropriate technologies in
the water sector and with greater involvement of public in WRD and management.
16. My understanding from study papers:
• The govt not able to shallow all problems mainly water resources.
• We need collaborations with of PPP.
• How to save the water, how to use the water sources is unavailable that need to
education public with effective manure.
• We need concentrate more Research and development.
