Flood Study on Dhaka City
A study was carried out immediately after flood 2007 with the following objectives:
to explore the causes of the flood 2007to investigate the hydrologic aspects of flood
2007to compare Flood 2007 with major historic
floodsto determine the extent of flood 2007to evaluate the performances of flood control
structures around Dhaka city
