LEDC Flooding- Bangladesh 2004 Bangladesh is an LEDC. The land is densely populated. Most of the land forms a delta from three main rivers - Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna - and 25 per cent of Bangladesh is less than 1 m above sea level. Flooding is an annual event as the rivers burst their banks. This seasonal flooding is beneficial as it provides water for the rice and jute (two main crops in the area) it also helps to keep the soil fertile. Bangladesh also experiences many tropical cyclones. The low-lying land means it is easily flooded. Half the country is less than 6m above sea level. The snowmelt in the Himalayas adds water into the main rivers. There are human causes too - building on the floodplains and cutting down trees both increase the effects of flooding. |
There are advantages to living here:Flat floodplains of delta very fertile. Rice is grown.The area can be used for shrimp farming. There are disadvantages too:Low-lying islands are very vulnerable&flood easily. It is difficult to protect them.Poor communications. Many locals don't own telephone/television so difficult give successful flood warnings. How can risk of flooding be reduced? More sustainable ways of reducing the flooding include building coastal flood shelters on stilts and early-warning systems. Responses: short term are food supplies, medicenes clothing and blankets distributed. local people began to build homes however disease from contaminated water remained threat. United Nations launched appeal to raise $74million but only received 20% by sep. water aid brang water cleansing tablets and education campaigns. |
