Urban Flooding of Greater Dhaka in a Changing Climate

Building Local Resilience to Disaster Risk

By: Susmita Dasgupta,Asif Zaman,Subhendu Roy,Mainul Huq,Sarwar Jahan,Ainun Nishat

Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh and one of the world’s rapidly growing megacities, is an urban hotspot for climate risks. Located in central Bangladesh on the lower reaches of the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta, the city faces the recurring phenomena of urban flooding and waterlogging following intense rainfall nearly every year. As a low-elevation city with a tropical monsoon climate, Dhaka has a long history of river flooding as a natural hazard. Recent major floods have been worse in terms of depth and extent of inundation and duration, especially in fringe areas, where many of the city’s poor reside. Rapid, unplanned urbanization and the gradual filling up of low-lying flood plains, rivers, canals, and other water bodies traditionally used to drain or retain water during rainfall have exacerbated the problem. A growing concern is that, in a changing climate, characterized by heavier and more erratic rainfall in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) Basin during the monsoon season, the situation may worsen.

A Walk in Midnight

By: Mohammad Sarwar MD FACR

Fakeer is an immigrant doctor of humble beginnings who comes to America from Pakistan. He arrives full of hope and ambition, but a new country means new challenges, perhaps the most difficult being cultural reconciliation and adjustment. However, Fakeers life in the United States is good. He enjoys dating and falls in love a time or two. He does well in his profession and is considered a brilliant radiologist. While Fakeers American girlfriends make it look like his assimilation is complete, he ends up marrying a woman from his own culture. The past seems to haunt him constantly. Although a Muslim, Fakeer begins to drink, and his thoroughly Americanized eldest daughter marries a Hindu. The good doctor travels to Pakistan as recompense for his excellent education. He enlists in Doctors Without Borders and goes to Kabul, but tragedy sets him off track. He returns again to America, suffering from post-traumatic stress, but it isnt long before hes back on Pakistani soil. No matter how much he loves America, the thought of home continues to haunt him. Fakeers spirit is a captive of his country of birth. Will he find eventual happiness in Pakistan or wander the world forever in search of purpose and peace?

Developing Sustainable Agriculture in Pakistan

By: Iqrar Ahmad Khan,Muhammad Sarwar Khan

Agriculture plays a pivotal role in the economy and development of Pakistan providing food to consumers, raw materials to industries, and a market for industrial goods. Unfortunately, agricultural production is stagnant due to several barriers including a fixed cropping pattern, reliance on a few major crops, a narrow genetic pool, poor seed quality, and a changing climate. In addition, the high cost of production, weak phytosanitary compliance mechanisms, and a lack of cold chain facilities makes Pakistan agriculturally uncompetitive in export markets. Despite all these issues, agriculture is the primary industry in Pakistan and small farmers continue to dominate the business. Small farmers grow crops for subsistence under a fixed cropping pattern and a holistic approach is required to develop agriculture to improve the livelihoods of the rural populace. This book presents an exhaustive look at agriculture in Pakistan. Chapters provide critical analyses of present trends, inadequacies in agriculture, strategic planning, improvement programs and policies while keeping in view the natural resources, plant- and animal-related agricultural production technologies, input supplies, population planning, migration and poverty, and balanced policies on finance, credit, marketing, and trade.

Perceptions of Self, Power, & Gender Among Muslim Women

Narratives from a Rural Community in Bangladesh

By: Sarwar Alam

This book analyzes perceptions of self, power, agency, and gender of Muslim women in a rural community of Bangladesh. Rural women’s limited power and agency has been subsumed within the male dominated Islamic discourses on gender. However, many Muslim women have their own alternative discourses surrounding power and agency. Sarwar Alam intertwines an exploration of these power dynamics with reading of the Qur’an and Hadith, and analyzes how Muslim women’s perception of power and gender are linked to their relationship with religion.
