RIVER protection and water management have not had the requisite policy support from successive governments, even when the party in power was elected with a huge majority in parliament, says Professor Zahurul Islam of the Institute of Water and Flood Management at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
In an interview with New Age on Tuesday, he also questioned the role of the Water Development Board in river protection and water management.
People hardly get the benefit of flood and erosion forecasts as the board does not make these forecasts in time and appropriate ways, Professor Islam said.
