A Letter to the Government of Bangladesh

Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing to let you no that these are my three ideas that we need

to work on. They are:

· Link up to Emergency flood warning system

· Build embankments along the river channel

· Provide emergency medical stores in each village

These are the three key points which I think their really important.

First of all lets start with Emergency flood warning system I think

that’s really important because we no that we can’t stop the flooding

from happening but we can be ready for the flood when it approaches.

Emergency flood warning system it will tell us when the flood is

coming so the village people can be ready. This will really help the

village people and the amount of people dieing will be decreased.

With the increase of population, industrial growth, more and more

settlements and development in flood plains, flood hazards in

Bangladesh have become ever-increasing natural disasters resulting in

causing the highest economic damage among all kinds of natural

disasters around the world. In order to formulate flood management and

control policies, a thorough understanding of flood problems and how

it can be solved is required. This can be done through data collection

and analysis along with flood impact assessment. This study attempted

to develop an integrated approach of a new model for warning of floods

rather than flood mapping for flood risk assessment in flood prone

countries for regular monitoring of damages.

My second point is about the embankments along the river channel. I

think this will really help the village people. The water will stop

coming to the village which means more people and crops can survive.

Earthen embankments are often used as flood control measures along the

major river banks. Floodplains and river banks are developed from

recent deposits consisting mostly silt and fine sand that are highly

susceptible to erosion. As a result, the main channel often shifts

towards the earthen embankment often resulting in its failure.
