Bangladesh is facing to tackle the 21st century greatest challenge: Climate change, food security and agriculture and water resource management. Agriculture is the single main sector of water usage in Bangladesh, with irrigated paddy rice using 70% of water resources (Chowdhury, 2010). Agricultural demands of water are considerably more sensitive to climate change, particularly for irrigation. Irrigation has revolutionized rice production in Bangladesh. Climate change may alter climatic…

The monsoon rains, and their cycle of wet and dry seasons, made its mark on the Asiatic agricultural societies in a way the European’s (predictable) summer/winter cycles did not. Not only did varying times of feast and famine via the monsoon create cultures more conservative in respect to risk taking (read: exploration, investment, colonization), but also fostered the interconnectedness…

still water, it can tolerate up to 6% of salinity (Cooke & Hill 2010; Kolar et al. 2005). Also, it can spawn as low as 18。C and reach up to 30。C (Carlson & Vondracek 2014). These have allowed it to survive in various environments. In addition, the monsoon rain plays an important role in spawning because it aids in triggering the occurrence of spawning (Jennings 1988). Moreover, there is a requirement of minimum water velocity of 0.8m/sec in order for the eggs to survive before hatching (Tucker…
