Info

The reduction in rainfall in Bangladesh during winter will reduce the annual refilling of groundwater storing aquifers and a direct impact on rain-fed agriculture. This has huge implications for groundwater based irrigation which is already experiencing difficulties in different parts of the country in sustaining supply due to over-extraction of water and insufficient refill in the monsoon. The Survey and Monitoring of Groundwater Project has shown that the reduction in groundwater levels mean that 46% of cropland irrigated through shallow-tubewells can not draw enough water to supply farms in the dry season.. The area affected is also expected to get larger during droughts, for example the area severely affected by Rabi droughts could increase from 4000 km² to 12000 km² as global warming increases. Table 5.6 Chronology of Drought events in Bangladesh and its impact on the agriculture sector (Ramamasy and Baas, 2007) Other than change in precipitation, change in temperature might be an important factor as well. An estimated change in temperature along the drought prone region of Bangladesh clearly shows that the temperature will increase in near future (Figure 5.7). 70
