research

The Barind Tract in northwest Bangladesh irrigates almost all of its dry-season rice from groundwater, and its water table falls by up to 0.39 m a year. My research asks where that water can be put back — managed aquifer recharge through canals and reservoirs — and how far ahead the wells can be forecast.
