Shariatpur District, in Bangladesh is surrounded by the two big
rivers, Padma at north and the Meghna at eastern side. When the two
rivers attain peak flood levels simultaneously, this district faces
devastating floods. These floods have a destructive effect on
agriculture especially on Aman variety up to certain level of flood
depth but also have a positive impact on following year's Boro
production. So there is a scope of managing flood flows towards
crop production risk management. The present study provides a
method for flood management to help with crop production risk
management. HEC-RAS, statistical analysis and GIS model were
carried out for finding inundation maps, optimum flood depth and
volume of water respectively. The study findings show that, the
optimal flood depth is 1.85m (msl) in where Boro production would
be safe and Aman production would face about 200 ton/yr loss. This
study also find two equations that provide estimation of Mawa
discharge depending on two upstream stations (Hardings Bridge and
Bahadurabad Ghat) and targeted discharge of Mawa that needs to
release from Mawa to the study area towards ensuring the optimum
flood depth.
