Deltaplan Bangladesh
The Bangladesh delta has more than 50 rivers and a vulnerable coastal area, and it is susceptible to flooding. Furthermore, the country faces major water-quality problems. It is going through a period of rapid economic growth, making a long-term vision for water management increasingly urgent. Deltares teamed up with Bangladeshi colleagues and stakeholders to develop a sustainable and supported strategy and implementation programme for tackling the water-related problems in the country.
Deltares focused primarily on the areas of resource management (water and land) and adaptation strategies for water management and coastal management. The Dutch ambassador and the Ministry of Planning in Bangladesh are the principals for this 2100 Bangladesh Delta Plan.
Key outputs for the Bangladesh deltaplan
