Inundation and severe flooding in the coastal areas is a frequent occurrence in Bangladesh. This leads to loss of life and property as well as severe impacts on livelihoods. The government of Bangladesh has been investing steadily in coastal zone management through construction and rehabilitation...
This project will address the important external drivers that influence water resources of the coastal zone and to assess the anticipated changes in flooding, drainage congestions, salinity intrusion, water availability, sedimentation and risk of inundation of cyclone induced storm surge as a con...

The Ganges Basin Development Challenge (BDC) research program will focus on brackish-water coastal zones in the Ganges Basin, where agricultural lands have a maximum salinity greater than 5 ppt (parts per thousand) in the dry season (salinity is lower in the wet season). The BDC vision of success...
The Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) was launched in 2002 as a reform initiative of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The CPWF aims to increase the resilience of social and ecological systems through better water management for food production (crops...

The Coordination and Change project of the Limpopo Basin Development Challenge (L5) is designed to help the four BDC projects conduct quality, coherent, and problem oriented research to contribute to beneficial change in the basin. L5 will develop and implement a communication and knowledge manag...
This project is about scaling up to the catchment level the results obtained from optimizing the management of individual reservoirs. As such, it draws on results from MKs 1 and 2. It seeks to understand at the catchment scale the cumulative upstream and downstream consequences of management deci...

This project is about showing whether BSM are effective. It seeks to quantify the consequences of BSM-driven changes in land and water management for livelihoods in upstream rural communities, and for water supplies for downstream water consumers. It will develop methods to anticipate ex ante the...
