Bangladesh's Battle With Water: Can It Save Its Climate Refugees? | Once Upon A River

Bangladesh is battling to stay above water. By 2050, one in every seven people in the country will be displaced by climate-related factors.
We go on a journey across the south Asian nation to understand why three quarters of the country is inundated by its rivers bursting their banks every year. On this journey, we investigate how floods threatens the country's food security, how soil erosion is leaving thousands homeless and meet climate refugees migrating from their homes to survive.
Along the way, we meet communities adapting to climate change by growing food on water in an effort to counter rising sea levels as rising sea-level threatens to overtake 11% of the country's land within the next 30 years. We visit the frontlines of the country's battle against climate change to meet activists raising awareness against man-made changes to the country's water resources which may leave a devastating impact on its economy.

So, among all other measures of mitigation, the Bangladeshi's must work on birth control.

[@justins8304]

I guess India is also responsible for your birth. Day by day bangladeshi becoming pakistani, everything is yahoodi and Indian sazish, it's never your own fault right?🤣

So when generous SINGAPORE going to build water desalination plant in Bangladesh ? Or just licking CHINA to the max

[@amjadkhan-su8yn]

You can take your climate change fearmongering and peddle them elsewhere. The climate of the earth is dynamic.

Oh Lord! What happen to my golden bengal.

[@hasanchoudhury5401]

It is happening right now in Bangladesh ! People are in precarious position in the front line of rising seas and massive floods. The depletion of the aquifer causes subsidence of the of surface! They need to bring excess rain water from the surplus north east districts like Sylhet and Maymenshing districts ! Bhairab Bazaar to Dhaka water pipelines may be a straight forward city water project. The area upstream from Bhairab Bazaar has no significant source of pollution or contamination! The area may be declared protected safe drinking water resources area for the city of Dhaka for the long term. I am sure the big shots in the government and leadership don’t know how to even accept any good suggestions. They are always looking for some foreign entity to give them a lump sum donation or gift of projects. India has been creating toxic relationships with all the neighbors. For Bangladesh they have been stealing our water during the dry season and suddenly flooding us during the excess rain season without any coordination or considerations. India is totally acting unacceptable. Urgently action are needed for the safety of the people. Life is unsustainable if these climate emergencies are not mitigated soon. We don’t want divisiveness among us during our crisis. Our farmers are resourceful and resilient. But we need to solve our problems. Regards

Don't blame India for this... we are also suffering with the same problem

[@reganjoans]

blame pappans who are advising endian coverment for it!!

[@asafuddinahnafchowdhury4128]

We know that you're also suffering but does it means that you will increase the sufferings of your neighbour country by building more and more dams! Every country is building dams in this 21st century for their own sake but does it means you won't give the right share of water to the countries on downstream. You don't even dare to behave like this with any other neighbors of yours except Bangladesh.

China gives us the opportunity for the better and sustainable growth then it's a great deal for Bangladesh. I think it's a worthy fact for all of us..and also thanks chaina for their support.

It is just extreemely poorly managed. The disaster is always the result of greed, lust or lasyness. Rivers are not maitained, pollution is not controlled, and money talks. So until it changes there is no hope.

[@purpleheadedmonster8735]

It's easy to write and blame the government. But when you have 167 million population with extreme poverty then concern of food come first than environmental stuffs.

Lol

[@syedabdullahmahmood9092]

Mistake at 6:39, it should be South Eastern (Chittagong hill tracts) and Pakistan government proposed the dam when it was East Pakistan in 1962. Give full information.
