Project Report from the year 2013 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 80, , language: English, abstract: River erosion is a common scenario of INDAB CMDRR working area at Babugonj upazila of Barisal district. The community people of INDAB CMDRR project area at Babugonj are most at risk to river erosion. Due to geographical location of the area a lot of people becoming landless and extreme poor every year. Particularly, the sufferings of the people of Dehergoti Union under this upazila are worse. While the Govt. initiatives are not well enough to mitigate the river erosion the community people of this area became successful in this work by using their indigenous knowledge/practice. Using local resources (bamboo, rope, bricks and iron spike) they made bamboo cages and throw those into the river. These cages make the river wave weaker which decrease river erosion in a satisfactory rate.
