Sustainability impacts of tidal river management: Towards a conceptual framework

摘要: The Southwest Coastal people of Bangladesh have introduced Tidal River Management (TRM) as an environmentally acceptable water resource management practice based on their indigenous knowledge logging low lying coastal land. TRM helps to address problems resulting from different anthropogenic and structural development activities, it has been successful in helping communities adapt climate change rising sea level vulnerability by forming new land Basins. Hence, is essential measure sustainability impacts the environmental, socio-economic institutional perspectives. Therefore, firstly, study identifies indicators considering ecosystem services secondly, develops inclusive conceptual framework understand important each indicator at various spatial temporal scales. followed construction a Sustainability Index (SITRM). It advantages over Ramsar Convention (2007) World Meteorological Organization (WMO) (2012) includes sustainable model project future community, river Basin, emphasizing issues. also involves trade-offs analysis, livelihood analysis SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities Threats) for complete impact assessment enable decision-makers focus those most likely be risks weaknesses or opportunities strengths TRM. Moreover, useful guide policymakers identifying so that they can choose best coping strategies effectively deal with adverse effects water-logging undesired climatic events well environmental changes areas.
