Conclusion (continued)
Normal flooding which inundates about
20% of total area of Bangladesh is
essential for the following reasons:
z Pushing back saline water into the sea.
z Recharging of groundwater and thereby
ensuring production of HYV rice during
dry season by tube-well irrigation.
z Supplying water for drinking and
household use.
z Supplying water for industrial use.

Conclusion (continued)
Disaster Management Plan and specially
Emergency Preparedness and
Emergency Response should be
included in the school curricula to
prepare our future generations to face
disaster.
z For the long term survival of
Bangladesh immediate steps should be
taken for realization of Bay Cross Dam
Project. At present it may appear like a
dream project, but some day this dream
must come true.
