Restored Flooding for Living Deltas

Bangladesh – Tidal River Management

Introduction

In an attempt to resolve river siltation and water logging in several of the beelds/polders in the southwest delta of Bangladesh, Tidal River Management is being practiced. By removing an embankment section, tidal dynamics are restored. Twice daily, water flows into the beels or polders, deposits silt on the land, and by moving out scours the river bed to bring it in better shape. After several years, the embankment section is closed and land can be taken into cultivation again.
