Flooding in Bangladesh

Synopsis

Tailor-made to fit UK specifications, this resource was filmed in Bangladesh and emphasises contemporary thinking about hazard events. The personal accounts of those living on Bangladesh’s charland (the land left behind after a flood) help explain the physical and human causes of flooding, including the local and regional factors as well as the effect of climate change. The DVD also provides examples of a range of creative flood management strategies and NGO projects, providing case-studies of both hard and soft engineering.
