Table 13. Reasons for success and failure
for 7 case study projects
| |
Project title |
Reason for success/failure |
| Successful projects |
CIP |
River erosion is not serious; embankments never
failed; pumped drainage and irrigation components present; accepted by
people |
| |
Halir Haor |
Embankments designed to be overtopped during
monsoon flooding; does not extensively interact with river regimen; accepted
by people. |
| |
Bhitabari-Damosh |
Prevention of rainfall flooding by providing
drainage facility; embankment does not interact with river, benefits of
irrigation. |
| Unsuccessful projects |
Chalan Beel |
Embankments cut by the impacted people outside
the project area; substantial fisheries loss. |
| |
BRE, Kazipur |
River erosion is serious; embankments breached;
significant loss of fisheries. |
| |
Beel Dakatia |
Siltation of boundary rivers due to project
impact; water logging as the drainage is prevented due to siltation of
rivers. |
| |
Baisari-Saidkathi |
Project abandoned at the initial construction
stage due to resistance of people who had environmental concerns. |
