Of 2,553 transects examined using DSAS in the Sundarbans coastal zone, to the west of Bangladesh, shoreline retreated by erosion at 2,252 transects while at the remaining 301 transects, the shoreline has advanced seawards by accretion (Fig. 3). Comparison of shoreline positions was found consistent with the observations by Rahman et al. (2011) who ...
A similar trend was observed in the Barguna Patuakhali coastal zone to that in the Sundarbans, whereas the Bhola and Noakhali Feni coastal zones, closer to the active river mouths, increasingly showed the influence of the rivers. These latter regions experienced extensive river/estuary bank erosion, but local accretion in a downriver direction in N...

The Chittagong coastal zone showed more erosion than accretion; erosion and accretion of the shoreline were observed at 1,246 and 767 transects respectively. The rate of erosion was much more subdued. The highest er...
Hatiya Island was typical of the rapidly changing islands that form and undergo erosion in the Meghna estuary. Hatiya has experienced rapid erosion at its northern end, having retreated at more than 200 m/yr at its fastest (with the most rapidly eroding transect in the country showing >285 m/yr), gouged by the flood flows of the river. However, it ...

The dam is mainly constructed by manual Labour. Between the dam and the Bay of Bengal, the river is a tidal river.
