Upazila

Satellite

Construction

Name: Koijuri
Type: Embankment
Length: 23.1 Km
Dates: 2018/Mar - Ongoing
Cost: BDT 995 Mil

The embankment at Koijuri will replace the eroded Brahmaputra Right Embankment (BRE) along the Jamuna River and rehabilitate the degraded flood embankment along the Hurashagar River. The embankment along the Hurashagar is basically completely eroded along the downstream half, while there is some low embankment left along the upstream half. The embankment will include a total of 4 appurtenant regulators/fishpasses to maintain flood protection but allow for local drainage and fish access.

Name: Chauhali
Type: Revetment
Length: 7 Km
Dates: 2015/Dec - Ongoing
Cost: BDT 1206 Mil

The east bank of the Jamuna River has been prone to erosion since the construction of Jamuna Bridge. The presently dominant eastern Jamuna channel has been eroding its riverbanks at Chauhali for many years putting this growth center at the risk of extinction. The Chauhali Upazila has lost most of its floodplain land and presently consists mostly of a river and char environment. The original 5 km revetment was extended to 7 km due to due to changes in the river morphology between the feasibility study and the construction start.

Name: Harirampur
Type: Revetment
Length: 8.8 Km
Dates: 2016/Jan - 2017/Dec
Cost: BDT 1159 Mil

Historically, the Padma River formed an extreme meander loop at Harirampur which has recently (since 2004) filled and the river is presently flowing rather straight. The riverbank protection along this vulnerable reach is part of an overall plan towards full river stabilization. At the Harirampur reach, the river will be straightened, allowing 2000 ha of land to be reclaimed.

Name: Zafirganj
Type: Revetment
Length: 2 Km
Dates: 2016/Jan - 2017/Sep
Cost: BDT 639 Mil

The east bank of the Jamuna River has been erosion prone since the construction of Jamuna Bridge. The presently dominant eastern Jamuna channel has been eroding its riverbanks at Zafarganj for many years putting this growth center at the risk of extinction. The riverbank protection along this vulnerable reach is part of an overall plan towards full river stabilization.
