    3. General Overview

    4. General Overview

    5. General Overview Bangladesh is at the lower end of the Himalayan drainage ecosystem Comprises only 8 percent of the GBM system and carry about 92 percent of water flow Average monsoon flow varies from 80,000 t0 140,000 cubic meter/sec This is second to Amazon System 1.7 to 2.4 billion tons of sediments carried by the river system through Bangladesh

    6. General Overview There are 230 rivers in the country and 53 are transboundary in nature The transboundary rivers have been greatly interfered – diversion of water in dry season Virtually – Bangladesh is a conglomerate of islands Very little structurally solid rocks, mostly flexible mud 8 percent of area is water

    7. Context of Vulnerability: spatial and temporal aspects

    8. Context of Vulnerability: spatial and temporal aspects

    9. Context of Vulnerability: spatial and temporal aspects Coast area of Bangladesh is very prone to cyclone and storm surges Coastal island and sea facing area are more prone compare to other coastal area Intensity of cyclone varies and damage as well

    10. Context of Vulnerability: spatial and temporal aspects Saline affected area is showing increasing trend Surface water salinity, salinity in the groundwater are major concern

    11. Endogenous technologies for adaptation to vulnerability context: cyclone and storm surges

    12. Endogenous technologies for adaptation to vulnerability context: flood/wetland

    13. Endogenous technologies for adaptation to vulnerability context: flood/wetland

    14. Endogenous technologies for adaptation to vulnerability context: flood/wetland

    15. Endogenous technologies for adaptation to vulnerability context: flood/wetland

    16. Endogenous technologies for adaptation to vulnerability context: flood/wetland

    17. Endogenous technologies for adaptation to vulnerability context: Salinity

    18. Endogenous technologies for adaptation to vulnerability context: Salinity

    19. Examples of Existing Coping Strategies Identified by NAPA Preparation Process

    20. Examples of Existing Coping Strategies Identified by NAPA Preparation Process

    21. Lessons Learned

    22. Concluding Remarks

    23. Acknowledgement

    24. Thank You
