Description The overall goal of the NWMP study is to describe and evaluate water availability and demand for agricultural, industrial, domestic, environmental and other purposes and the future water balance; in-stream uses, their requirements and the constraints they impose on water management; water quality, pollution and sanitation services, salinity intrusion and protection of the natural environment; and international rivers and their particular characteristics and constraints. In order to achieve the objective of NWMP, SWMC provided the support services related to mathematical modelling and database. Major activities of SWMC under NWMP include (i) Flood Hydrology Study to determine representative period for model simulation over a long historical period (ii) Flood Management Modelling to simulate water level and discharge at the model grid points, based on which determined flood levels, flood depth maps & depth duration maps under various return periods have been produced (iii) develop and simulate hydrodynamic model for low flow condition to assess the flows in the rivers for dry period under various development conditions (iv) Surface water-groundwater interaction model on a pilot area for the assessment of the groundwater, flow interaction between aquifer and river under various scenarios (v) Salinity modelling to simulate the salinity level and intrusion in the river system of coastal area of Bangladesh under various upstream flow condition to bring the salinity to the desired level (vi) contribute in the development of National Water Resources Database (vii) developed web-page for WARPO, (viii) designed and installed computer networking system in WARPO and (ix) transfer of technology to WARPO staff through a comprehensive training program including both on-the-job and theoretical training on various types of mathematical modelling and database
