Before preparing a long-term strategic plan, it is imperative to understand the earlier approaches, plans, and actions, as shown in this chapter under tracking of strategies and the way the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) took action before. Tracking the earlier strategies and plans to learn what the mindset and narratives were and what has been done on planning and execution of projects as well as on maintenance are important parts of adaptive strategy making and transformation. It is felt by the government that the need to deal in time with climate change in coherence with other issues is pressing. Hence, the need for adaptation and the initiative to define scope and objectives of a long-range scenario-based strategic planning project. This is in fact an initiative to formulate a strategic plan for the Bangladesh delta almost covering the whole country. The ways the Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 is institutionally embedded is elaborated, and the strategic planning process is described in the initial episode. Most of the by GoB selected thematic areas under the Bangladesh Delta Plan (BDP) 2100 are related to water. So, it is important to gather knowledge on the development of the delta and water resources systems in the country. Bangladesh, as riverine country, faces major inter-related delta challenges in water safety, food security and in socio-economic development. It also experiences too much water during the monsoon and too little water in the dry season. The available water resources comprise internally generated surface water through rainfall and runoff and transboundary inflows. The groundwater is also a source of water, but overexploited. Besides this, the main water resources management issues are considered as flood, drought, storm surge, salinity intrusion, waterlogging, river bank erosion, groundwater depletion and sea-level rise. Over time, the issues are exacerbated due to human interventions which contribute to the deterioration of the water quality. Bangladesh has an impressive history in the BDP 2100 important areas.

摘要

Before preparing a long-term strategic plan, it is imperative to understand the earlier approaches, plans, and actions, as shown in this chapter under tracking of strategies and the way the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) took action before. Tracking the earlier strategies and plans to learn what the mindset and narratives were and what has been done on planning and execution of projects as well as on maintenance are important parts of adaptive strategy making and transformation. It is felt by the government that the need to deal in time with climate change in coherence with other issues is pressing. Hence, the need for adaptation and the initiative to define scope and objectives of a long-range scenario-based strategic planning project. This is in fact an initiative to formulate a strategic plan for the Bangladesh delta almost covering the whole country. The ways the Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 is institutionally embedded is elaborated, and the strategic planning process is described in the initial episode. Most of the by GoB selected thematic areas under the Bangladesh Delta Plan (BDP) 2100 are related to water. So, it is important to gather knowledge on the development of the delta and water resources systems in the country. Bangladesh, as riverine country, faces major inter-related delta challenges in water safety, food security and in socio-economic development. It also experiences too much water during the monsoon and too little water in the dry season. The available water resources comprise internally generated surface water through rainfall and runoff and transboundary inflows. The groundwater is also a source of water, but overexploited. Besides this, the main water resources management issues are considered as flood, drought, storm surge, salinity intrusion, waterlogging, river bank erosion, groundwater depletion and sea-level rise. Over time, the issues are exacerbated due to human interventions which contribute to the deterioration of the water quality. Bangladesh has an impressive history in the BDP 2100 important areas.
