Synopsis

Considerable progress has been made for flood control, drainage and/or irrigation under the Small Scale Water Resources Development Sector Projects (SSWRDSP) of Local Government Engineering Department (LGED). However, this book pointed out the constraints and potentials of existing Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) framework being practiced at SSWRDSP and finally suggested a technically feasible and socially acceptable IWRM framework that can be operational in Bangladesh. This understanding and subsequent development of IWRM framework can be used as a model for SSWRDSP in general and in preparation of plans for further advancement of IWRM road map of Water Resources Planning Organization (WARPO). This research monograph was submitted and accepted as a thesis in partial fulfillment of the required degree of Master of Science in Water Resources Development of Sara Nowreen in the IWFM, BUET. Part of the thesis has been presented at International Conference on Water and Flood Management (ICWFM), 2011 and published at the South Asian Water Studies (SAWAS) Journal (www.sawasjournal.org/v2i2/SAWAS_2_2_Jan2011_p5_p26.pdf%20).
