Coastal Belt/Sea Front Problems • High tide twice a day retards flood water drainage. • Tsunami may cause widespread devastation and may also block flood water drainage. • Al-Nino tidal surge blocks river discharge. • Global warming raises sea water level. One metre rise will inundate 16% of total area of <strong>Bangladesh</strong> affecting about 20 million people. • Cyclonic surge causes tremendous loss of lives and properties. 26
Sea Front Opportunity Bay Cross Dam A dam constructed from Cox’s Bazar to Patuakhali across Bay of Bengal will have following benefits. • Protect against cyclonic surge • Protect against tsunami and tidal surge • Protect against sea level rise due to global warming • Retain water in river network during dry season • Prevent sea water salinity intrusion • The rivers in <strong>Bangladesh</strong> carry about 2 billion tons of sediment every year which will be trapped by Bay Cross Dam and 25000 sq km land will be reclaimed in 30 years time. 27
