Water risk in Bangladesh

IRDR Research Fellow Mohammad Shamsudduha joined the research project “Groundwater resources in the Indo-Gangetic Basin (IGB): resilience to climate change and pumping” awarded to the British Geological Survey by UKaid. The objective is to assess groundwater resources in the IGB and to strengthen the evidence base linking groundwater, climate population and human abstraction of the basin. The UCL research team (including Dr Richard Taylor, Geography, and Dr William Burgess, Earth Sciences) conducted extensive field research in Bangladesh and West Bengal.
