3rd HELIX Annual Meeting on 10-14 October 2016 at Postdam, Germany
Outline of the presentation• Impact on climate extremes – changes of temperature and rainfall
extremes
• Impact of High end climate change on water sector –The high flow (floods) and low flow extremes of the Brahmaputra river that carries two third of the flow was investigated.
• Impact of sea level rise in (SLR) the coastal regions of Bangladesh-inundation patterns due to SLR under normal conditions and cyclonic storm surges
• Impact on Agriculture and food security – changes of the yield of the major crop Boro rice over Bangladesh
• Changes of the vulnerability of the coastal regions of Bangladesh
Introduction
• Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries considering climate change due to its geographic location, high population density, poverty and natural disasters.
• Country is sufferings from a number of natural disasters such as monsoon floods, early pre-monsoon flash floods, heavy rainfall and landslides, cyclones and storm surges, thunderstorms, hail stones, lightening and droughts etc.
• Climate change will pose additional threats to the existing environmental issues of the countries.

The temperature anomaly of 0.84 degrees Celsius above average topped the previous warmest July in 2011 by 0.1 degree, according to NASA's analysis released Monday.

Regional Climate Modeling (RCM) for Bangladesh using CORDEX-South Asia Experiments
• GCM provides output more than 150km resolution which is not enough to capture mesoscale processes.
• RCM daily output with horizontal resolution 50km are available for South Asia CORDEX domain.
• Predictions are considered for extreme emission scenarios, RCP 8.5
• Climate output data have been bias corrected. Fahad et al. (2016)

Changes of extreme maximum and minimum temperature• It means extremity of temperature would become more prominent from the mid to
end of the 21st Century.
• From distribution of minimum temperature, TNn (minimum of daily minimum temperature) shows a reduction of its extremity in future years.

Water Resources Impact Assessment:SWAT Modeling for the Brahmaputra basin
• The Brahmaputra is a major transboundary river which drains an area of around 530,000 km2 and crosses four different countries: China (50.5% of total catchment area), India (33.6%), Bangladesh (8.1%) and Bhutan (7.8%) (Gain et al. 2013).
• Average discharge of the Brahmaputra is approximately 20,000 m3/s. The climate of the basin is monsoon driven with a distinct wet season from June to September, which accounts for 60–70% of the annual rainfall (Immerzeel, 2008).

Uncertainty in the Changes of Future Flow
• increasing tendency of thedischarge of Brahmaputra River atBahadurabad station duringmonsoon when flood usuallyoccurs, while some other modelsshow a decreasing tendencytowards the end of the 21st
century.
• During the pre-monsoon period(MAM), some of the models showsignificant increases of thedischarge peaks, while most ofthe models show that the peakduring this season will remainrelatively unchanged.

Changes of flow in terms of percentage (left) and total flow (right)
Monsoon (June-Sep) will be more wetter than present time which will increase chances of floods

Coastal modeling using Delft3D hydrodynamic model• DELFT3D- FLOW is a multi-dimensional (2D or 3D) hydrodynamic (and transport)
simulation program which calculates unsteady flow and transport phenomena that result from tidal and meteorological forcing on a rectilinear or a curvilinear, boundary fitted grid.

Coastal vulnerability assessment using indicators based multivariate analysis
Coastal areas of Bangladesh is very much prone to various natural disasters such as cyclone, storm surge, river erosion, flood, salinity intrusion, erratic weather condition, etc.
19 coastal districts were selected for the analysis where 140 Upazilas are included

A few key messages
• In Bangladesh, both mean maximum and minimum temperature will rise and rainfall will increase slightly. Extreme events (heatwave, extreme on day rainfall etc.) will be more frequent.
• Floods will be more frequent and a 100 year return period flood will have about 8% more discharge than present.
• The 0.5m SLR will inundate additional 4.3% of the coastal areas of the country and 11.37% of Sundarbans area.
• Under high emission RCP 8.5 scenarios the mean yield of Boro rice will decrease about 10% during 2030’s znd 20% during 2080s.
• Analysis of coastal vulnerabilities for the coastal regions, the number of high vulnerable coastal Upazilas has been increased from 6 to 73.
