Sub-Himalayan floods [Bangladesh] - an ecological approach
1989
Ismail, M.
In the sub-Himalayan region the onset of flood and drought accounts to a great extent for the temperature range of the maritime Bay of Bengal including its cone-shaped extension of the wide estuary of the Meghna through which the combined flows of the three major rivers, the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna reach the Bay. It also accounts to the changing temperature of the newly formed lands in the estuarine zone where vegetation cover is rapidly degenerating in recent years to directly influence the temperature there. In the absence of rainfall's general circulation model, sporadic heavy showers originated from occasional depressions of the stochastic forching model of raining pattern cause devastating floods in the region particularly in Bangladesh of sudden onrush of the combined flows of the major rivers noted above.
