Impacts of Climate Change on the Livelihoods of The People in Tanguar Haor, Bangladesh
Abstract: Bangladesh is widely recognized as one of the most vulnerable countries in the world due to climate change. Previous studies reveal that Surma-Kushiyara rivers system known as Haor basin is projected to be under additional stress due to changes in temperature and rainfall pattern. Tanguar Haor, which is located in the north-eastern region of Bangladesh, is characterized by large round shaped floodplain depressions and marshy lands. This paper attempts to …

Impact of Climate Change on Rainfall Pattern and Reservoir Level
Abstract: Climate change is change in weather pattern for a significantly long period. One of the major impacts of climate change is variation in rainfall pattern which directly or indirectly affects the regional water sources which are rain fed/recharged. In the present paper, an attempt is made to present the impacts of climate change on rainfall pattern (2004–2010) and reservoir level (2014–2015) in Karnataka. Change in the rainfall pattern in a …
