Research Motivation
Gradual filling up of flood plains, rivers, canals
and other water bodies with rapid urbanization
will aggravate the water logging over time.
More erratic rainfall and increase in the
frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall
events with climate change may further worsen
Dhaka's flood vulnerability in the future.
■This study will provide local decision-makers an
effective planning approach to minimize the
damage from urban flooding.
