O knihe

This book shades some light on the problems of river erosion, and how people cope with it. The study was done on the embankment people of Tista river who lives in Lalmonirhat Sadar Upazilla of Bangladesh. There seems to be a relationship between the financial condition and coping strategy. It is evident that people can anticipate river erosion by closely following the river erosion pattern over the years. The impact of river erosion is not severe on rich. Problem remains with the people who have very limited financial ability. At the time when the river comes dangerously close, they arrange a place for temporary shelter. The temporary shelter may be on the government property, roads, flood protection dams or other's houses. To meet the basic need people will utilize savings. Then the next option is to sell whatever little asset they have. It could be ornament, tin shade, domestic animal, furniture or crockery. Land selling or giving mortgage is other options. Loan seeking is another way of coping strategy for erosion affected people. People also look for aids, grants and help from government and non government sources.
