Assessing the impacts of SRM on hydrology in Bangladesh
Host institution Centre for Rediscovered and Redefined Natural Resources Research and Education
Grant year 2021
Project summary
Understanding how SRM use could affect water and food security is of great importance for climate-vulnerable countries such as Bangladesh, a country threatened by regular floods, by storms from the Bay of Bengal, and by increasing erosion and salinity from sea level rise. The research team led by Dr Abu Syed seeks to understand how SRM could affect the country’s hydrology, with a focus on the Padma-Brahmaputra-Meghna basin. The project is hosted at the Centre for Rediscovered and Redefined Natural Resources Research and Education (C4RE) and features collaboration with the Bangladesh Center for Advanced Studies (BCAS) and the University of Chittagong.
