Abstract

The village Chandra is situated in the southwest part of Bangladesh on the banks of the river Kabodak, which flows from Jessore to the Bay of Bengal. In the past, the 1500 villagers depended on the river for agriculture, aquaculture, transport and other daily activities. At least 300 villagers had land on the bank of the river and when the river flooded its banks, silt carried by the water was deposited on the land, making it fertile and providing the farmers with good crops.
