Bangladesh is situated at the most downstream region of the GBM basin where the major&#13;
three rivers meet. Only 7 percent of the basin area lies within Bangladesh. Most of the water&#13;
flowing through Bangladesh is beyond the nation’s control. Besides, owing to flat lowlying geological formation, Bangladesh is a very flood prone country where flood stays for&#13;
longer period. In the northwest region Teesta is a flashy river in nature for which the water&#13;
level of river Teesta shows several peaks during the monsoon both at Dalia and Kaunia.&#13;
During the monsoon, Teesta River overflow its banks. For this severe flooding is caused&#13;
multiple times by Teesta River during monsoon in Bangladesh. Besides, Teesta is a&#13;
morphologically active river which shows significant shifting of bankline and change in&#13;
width over the years resulting from erosion and deposition. Therefore, the study is carried&#13;
out to understand the hydrological and morphological nature of Teesta River and the flood&#13;
characteristics of the river using mathematical model. For hydrological analysis, water level&#13;
hydrograph for Dalia, Kaliganj and Kaunia stations and Discharge hydrograph at Dalia&#13;
Station is prepared using historical data of daily water level and discharge from 2000-2022&#13;
year. Besides flood frequency analysis is also done using Gumbel’s distribution to&#13;
determine the maximum discharge and water level for a return period of 50 and 100 years.&#13;
For morphological analysis, planform analysis is done using satellite image to evaluate the&#13;
bank line shifting and amount of erosion-deposition of both banks of Teesta River for the&#13;
period 2000-2022. Cross section analysis is done to determine the changes in width of the&#13;
river and thalweg movement over the year using cross section data from left bank of the&#13;
river. As a part of the study, flood inundation maps were generated for monsoon season of&#13;
2020 using HEC-RAS 2D model. Later, the model generated map is also compared with&#13;
Satellite based inundation map prepared by FFWC of BWDB. HEC-RAS 2D model is&#13;
developed and calibrated for the year of 2020 August-September and validated for the year&#13;
of 2013 August-October with a manning’s roughness n=0.032. Lastly, the model is&#13;
simulated to generate flood inundation map for Teesta River of 2020 flood to compare it&#13;
with the actual scenario to understand the model performance.

Due to the tendency for erosion and deposition, the Padma, which was once thought to be a&#13;
mostly meandering stream, is now transitioning into a braided system. In order to determine&#13;
the Padma River's optimal hydrodynamic and morphological behavior, it is necessary to do&#13;
morphological analysis.&#13;
In the process of this research, a two-dimensional model of the river Padma was constructed&#13;
with the help of Delft3D for the purposes of analyzing the hydrodynamic and morphological&#13;
behavior of the Padma River in Naria Upazila. The data on water level, discharge, sediment&#13;
and bathymetry are gathered from BWDB. Time series discharge data is utilized as the&#13;
upstream boundary and water level data as the downstream boundary for hydrodynamic and&#13;
morphological computation. The model is simulated for the monsoon season of the year 2021&#13;
with Bilaspur Bazar as the upper-southern boundary and Islampur functioning as the lowersouthern boundary. The accuracy of the model is calibrated by comparing it to the water level&#13;
that was actually present at Mawa in June of 2021. After the calibration process is complete,&#13;
the model is evaluated at the same location during the months of September of the following&#13;
year (2021). Once they have been calibrated and validated, the variation of hydrodynamic&#13;
properties is investigated, including changes in velocity and discharge as well as variations in&#13;
water level. Then, the morphological characteristics, such as the rate of sediment transport&#13;
and cumulative erosion/deposition at vulnerable sections, are evaluated.&#13;
Results show that in September, the velocity is observed to be at its highest around the river's&#13;
lower middle and narrow parts. It is observed that the velocity of the river and the rate of&#13;
sediment movement are highly correlated. When the critical high discharge and water level&#13;
were used, the velocity was greater than the unsteady model simulation, where the monsoon&#13;
data of 2021 was used. So, the erosion and deposition was greater for steady case

The Meghna Estuary, situated in Bangladesh, is renowned for its dynamic&#13;
morphological characteristics, influenced by sedimentation from the GangesBrahmaputra-Meghna Delta and intense tidal currents. This research delves into the&#13;
erosion-accretion dynamics within the Meghna Estuary, particularly focusing on the&#13;
reach between Urir Char and Char Elahi. Through a comprehensive study utilizing&#13;
remote sensing, GIS analysis, and field surveys, this research aims to assess&#13;
morphological changes and sediment transport patterns over thirty years. The study&#13;
reveals significant erosion-accretion fluctuations, with accretion rates exceeding&#13;
erosion rates, leading to the formation of new landmasses and alterations in the&#13;
estuarine landscape. The image analysis results revealed that over the past thirty years&#13;
(1993-2023), the study area experienced a total erosion of 1422.86 ha and 3658.47 of&#13;
accretion. Analysis of sediment concentration profiles indicates a sediment surplus&#13;
system, characterized by accretion-prone areas. The findings underscore the critical&#13;
role of sediment dynamics in shaping estuarine morphology and highlight the potential&#13;
of remote sensing and GIS techniques in monitoring and managing coastal&#13;
environments so that appropriate measures or structures can be built to protect the&#13;
island.

Water Quality Index (WQI) is one of the simplest, most understandable and effective way&#13;
to determine overall quality of drinking water as well as water used for other purposes. A&#13;
study was attempted to assess the spatial variability of groundwater quality index of&#13;
Manikganj district of Bangladesh. For this purpose, 31 water samples were collected and&#13;
analyzed for potential sources and of contamination. pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS),&#13;
Electric Conductivity (EC), Total Hardness (TH), Total Alkalinity (TA), Iron (Fe),&#13;
Manganese (Mn), Sulphate (SO₄²-&#13;
), Chloride (Cl−&#13;
) and Turbidity were measured for&#13;
calculating WQI. Their mean values were 7.05, 313.07 mg/L, 625.62 µS/cm, 207.35 mg/L,&#13;
214.57 mg/L, 5.0 mg/L, 0.093 mg/L, 14.16 mg/L, 104.38 mg/L and 62.06 respectively. The&#13;
obtained values of WQI were distributed spatially through mapping using IDW&#13;
interpolation via ESRI ArcGIS software. These values were categorized as excellent, good,&#13;
poor, very poor, and unfit for every purposes. The WQI values ranged from 7 to 683 with&#13;
an average value of 134.19. Among the 31 samples, 29.03% were excellent quality, 38.71%&#13;
were good quality, 9.67% poor quality, 12.9% very poor and 9.67% were unfit for all&#13;
purposes. The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin test was 0.747 confirming that the dataset was&#13;
sufficient for component analysis. The entire dataset could be represented by two&#13;
components which accounted for 63.53% of the total variance of the dataset. Through PCA&#13;
the influential contaminants came to light informing that naturally occurring Fe and Mn&#13;
contaminations resulted in most of the pollution. Through this study, it can be proved that&#13;
Spatial mapping and PCA are effective tools for determining ground water quality. The&#13;
results of this study can be used to improve the current water quality situation of Manikganj&#13;
district and ensure higher quality water resources for the citizens of this district.
