Socio-Hydrological Dynamics in Bangladesh (eBook, PDF)

Understanding the Interaction Between Hydrological and Social Processes Along the Jamuna Floodplain

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Sets out to explore the opportunities and risks generated by the interactions between physical and societal processes along the Jamuna River in Bangladesh. It proposes the concept of "Socio-hydrological spaces" to enrich the study of socio-hydrology as it helps understand the detailed human-water interactions in a specific location.

Autorenporträt

Md Ruknul Ferdous was born in Dinajpur, Bangladesh in 1980. He studied Water Resources Engineering at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka, Bangladesh, where he graduated in 2005. He completed a Master of Science in Water Science and Engineering (Specialization: Hydrology and Water Resources) at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, Delft, the Netherlands in 2014.

From 2005 to 2014, M. R. Ferdous worked at CEGIS, a public trust under the Ministry of Water Resources, Bangladesh as a Water Resources Expert and River Morphologist. In this capacity, he became involved in research that combined insights from hydrology, river morphology, water management, climate change and environmental studies. He worked in a number of projects in which he used such insights to help develop flood forecasting systems, produce vulnerability assessments, develop ways to adapt to natural hazards and climate change. He also engaged in environmental and social impact assessment of flood management projects in Bangladesh.

In 2014, he started his PhD research at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, Delft, the Netherlands and the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands under the program "Hydro-Social Deltas: Understanding flows of water and people to improve policies and strategies for disaster risk reduction and sustainable development of delta areas in the Netherlands and Bangladesh". His research interests are human-water interactions, hydrology, flood and river bank erosion, and river morphology.
