1. Introduction
The Ganges basin development challenge is increasing resilience of agricultural and
aquaculture systems in the Ganges delta focusing water and food security. There are five
projects namely G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5 having different objectives under Ganges Basin
Development Challenge (BDC) programme. The Project G3 is entitled Water governanceand community based management As one of the partners of G3 Institute of Water
modelling (IWM) has been entrusted to carry out the following activities to support
International Water Management Institute (IWMI); Preparation of baseline GIS maps,
inventory and condition of drainage sluices & structures, land inundation map with land type(F0,F1,F2, F3 .. ), participatory resource mapping, GIS map showing Mouza area, Mouza
population & Population density for 5 BWDB polders and 4 LGED subprojects.
This report contains progress of field survey and data collection work, data processing and
preparation project base maps and GIS maps for each polder of the study area of G3 and
inventory of structures.
2. Study area
The study area is in the coastal zone of Bangladesh. The southern part of the country
adjoining the Bay of Bengal is known as the coastal zone. In earlier decades when polders
were not constructed, low-lying areas of coastal zone were frequently flooded by salt water
during high tide and most of the area remained fallow and cropping intensity was very low,
livelihood opportunity was also poor because of less intensive economic activities. In order to
increase agricultural production by preventing the land of coastal area from frequent tidal
flooding and salinity intrusion the Coastal Embankment Project (CEP) was implemented in
accordance with the Master Plan adopted in 1964. Under this program Bangladesh Water
Development Board (BWDB) had built a series of polders enclosing the low-lying coastal
areas. Coastal polders are the first large scale human intervention in the coastal area. Over
the years it is learned that efficient water management involving active participation of local
community is a prerequisite for polder management in enhancing agriculture and aquaculture
production.
The study area of G3 is within the Ganges basin of the coastal zone of Bangladesh, which is,shown in Figure 2.1. The study area includes five BWDB polders namely P-3, P-31, P-30, P-
43/2f and P-24G and four LGED sub projects namely Bhagirabad-Jainkathi, Jabusha Beel,
Baganchra-Badurgacha, Latabunia.

3. Progress of work
3.1 Field survey and Data collection
3.1.a Summary of survey work
IWM has made a comprehensive field survey using state of the art survey technology to
collect quality information on infrastructure of the polders. The field survey work has been
started from 15 November, 2011 and substantial progress has been made. The field data
collection for four BWDB polders (3, 30, 31, 42/2f) and four LGED subprojects (Bhagirabad-
Jainkathi, Jabusha Beel, Baganchra-Badurgacha, Latabunia) has been completed. The
summary of the activities carried out for data collection campaign is shown in Table-3.1
Table-3.1: Summary of survey activity
3.1.b Survey methodology
The inventory surveys of existing structures are conducted for the Polder 3, 30, 31, 24G,
43/2F and 4 LGED subprojects. For the structure inventory the main features survey are
location (GPS & also village name), type of structure (Pipe, regulator, Box culvert), no of
vent, size of vent or dia, silt level, sofit level, deck level, Fall board/flap gate, active/inactive,
condition (good, minor problem, major problem), interviewing of the local people if it is

the each structure with respect to IWM existing nearest BM/TBM values. Then the another
team measure the silt level, soffit level, structure dimension by using level machine and tape
and made interview of the local people for necessary information. During this data collection,
inventory of the unauthorized structures constructed by the people for the own purpose alsoconducted. The alignment survey of embankment, Khals and roads and the Geographical
coordinates of the feature in the polders and subprojects have been taken with Hand GPS.

3.2 Data processing and preparation of GIS map
Real-Time Kinematic Differential Global Positioning System (RTK-DGPS) technology with
computer based data storage and processing facility have been used in map production under
GIS environment. Field data has been collected using WGS84 datum and then the data has
been transferred into local datum Everest1830 and finally the data has been projected in BTMprojection system as convenient for Bangladesh. It can be mentioned that data for all physical
features have been collected as point location having coordinates (Latitude and longitude) of
the features. When the data have been projected the corresponding latitude and longitude
values have been converted as northing and easting. The northing and easting values of each
feature have been stored in excel file and from the excel file the shapefile of respective
feature has been created.
Using the available shapefile the final map has been prepared. It can also be mentioned that
besides the field survey data, IWM archive has also been used. For example, Shapefile of
road and river has been used form IWM archive and homestead boundary has been drawn
from IWM achieved imagery. Both field data and archived data have been cross-checked to
each other for better accuracy. In the map several types of physical features have been shown
such as Water Structure (made by BWDB, LGED and Public), Roads, Khal, River and other
features like Bridge/Culvert, Office, Religious Institution, Educational Institution, Bazar etc.
The maps also contain Union and Upazila Boundary. Wherever exists, District Headquarter,
Upazila Headquarter and Union Complex has been shown in the Map. Each feature in the
map has been shown with appropriate LEGEND. All the maps have been prepared leaving .5
inch boarder in left, right and lower side and .75 inch in upper side for good visual
representation. An index map has also been used to locate the study area with respect toBangladesh. Main concern of the map is to illustrate exact location of various types of
structures. In the study area, three types of structures are found. These are BWDB structures,
LGED structures and Public Structures (Structures made by local people are herein called
Public structures). Public structures mainly include pipes and small gates. These three types
of structure have been shown with three different LEGENDS. Because of paramount
importance, structure information has also been presented in a shorter tabular form in the
Map and detailed structure information has been provided in separate spreadsheet. In that
case serial number has been maintained both in LEGEND and in table. Other physical
features in the map have been classified into five broad categories namely educationalinstitution, religious Institution, Important Office, Bazar, Bridge/Culvert and other features.
Moreover, each feature has been labeled with their name to know exactly what the feature is.
A sample of baseline GIS map has been shown in Fig 3.2 and a sample of detailed structure
information has been given in Table 3.2 and 3.3. Some pictures of a BWDB structures of
Polde-30 is shown in fig 3.3

3.3 Preparation of GIS map showing Mouza data
The Mouza data (shape files) for all the Polders and Subprojects has already been collected
form LGED and found some mismatch in the data. With discussion with LGED it is now
being corrected. After correction this Mouza map will be superimposed to the baseline GIS
map. The Mouza map will have the information of Mouza area, Mouza population &Population density.
3.4 Drainage modelling and preparation of inundation map
The regional model for the coastal area has been updated based on available data. The
calibrated and validated drainage model for the existing system will be applied to assess the
existing drainage performance of the present drainage networks in the selected polders and
sub projects. The drainage model will be developed using two separate module of MIKE 11
modelling system; rainfall-runoff modelling (hydrological modelling, MIKE11-NAM) and
hydrodynamic modelling (MIKE11-HD). MIKE-GIS module will also be used for
inundation and depth duration mapping. The existing calibrated and validated Southwest
Regional Model will be the basis to develop the drainage model for the proposed study
incorporating the detail catchments distribution of the river systems, up-dated river cross-
section data and existing regulators in the study area. Drainage models will be developed for
five BWDB polders namely P-3, P-31, P-30, P-43/2f and P-24G and four LGED sub projects
namely Bhagirabad-Jainkathi, Jabusha Beel, Baganchra-Badurgacha, Latabunia.
3.5 Participatory resource mapping
The participatory mapping for the selected polders and subprojects will be started after
finishing the baseline map. Participatory mapping for drainage problems, cropping pattern
and land use map for Kharif-I, Kharif-II and Rabi/Boro for the year 2010-2011 has already
been started. The drainage subsystem delineation will be done consulting with the local
people. In polder 3, there are some locations where conflicts between farmers and fishermen
are present due to rice and shrimp cultivation. These conflict spots will be located by
discussing with the local people and then will be updated in the GIS map. The work plan of
participatory resource mapping is given in Table 3.4.

3.6 Review of policies and practices for coastal zone management
Two extensive review reports 1)BWDB Initiatives Experiences towards Participatory Water
Resources Management and 2) Review of Policies in Water Sector and Related Sectors
that relate to Coastal Zone Management have been prepared and submitted.
BWDB Initiatives Experiences towards Participatory Water Resources Management
analyzed and describes the chronological development of participatory water resource
management practice under BWDB since 1972. The report also evaluated how the
experiences and lesson learned were internalized within BWDB and the Government policy.
Review of Policies in Water Sector and Related Sectors tha t relate to Coastal Zone
Management reviewed the existing water sector policies and those of the related sectors that
relate to Coastal Zone Management. The report reviewed as many as 18 policies and
analyzed and outlined their relevancy to the Coastal Zone Management.
