Bangladesh is an agriculture-based country where better parts of its total people are directly or indirectly connected the wide range of agricultural activities. Rainfall is the most important natural catalyst that determines the agricultural production in Bangladesh. The productiveness of farmland as well as the firmness of land resources depends on heavily upon the rainfall. The variability of rainfall and the extreme high or low precipitations are very important for the agricultural production as well as the economical growth of the country. It is well known that the rainfall is changing globally; and the regional scales due to global warming .The climate on earth primarily influenced by monsoon and also partly by pre-monsoon and post-monsoon and winter circulations. Bangladesh is considered to be one of the most vulnerable countries for a change of climate rapidly and shortage or heavy rainfall. This is due to its unique geographic location, the dominance of floods and rising of sea level. During, the monsoon season it rains heavily, and there is the heavy rush of water from the mountains through our rivers. But the rivers can neither hold the water. As a result, the overflow their banks and cause flood. These floods cause heavy damage to our lives and properties. As per the records, the floods happened in 1984, 1987, 1988, 1998, 2004, 2007 and 2015 were beyond compare and irreparable loss of agricultural crops, infrastructures and dwelling houses of the inhabitants,

Home, a place known to be safe and comforting for O’Brien, where his loved
There are several things that can result in floods. Rain, obviously, but believe it or not, droughts can, too. A drought is a long period of dry weather, especially one injurious to crops. Droughts can result in floods because during prolonged spells, especially, they will deplete the ground’s source of water, leaving the top layer extraordinarily dry. Then, when it rains, that top layer acts as a natural barrier, preventing the water from soaking in.
Climate also impacts where people live! Many people choose not to live where the climate is dry and

Jim Yardley, a Rome Bureau Chief for The New York Times who spending the previous decade in China, India and Bangladesh. in his new article, “Bangladesh Takes Step to Increase Lowest Pay,” implies that even though Bangladesh tries to rise its minimum wage, the worker 's still in an unsafe situation. Morrison supports her implication by describing how the rise minimum wage still not enough to cover necessities and by illustrating some factory owners worry that the rise of wage will make them hard to stay competitive with other places, also he points out the unsafe work condition by mentions the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory building, which killed more than 1,100 garment workers. His purpose is to make her readers aware of the situation in
The impact of climate change is being felt throughout the world; however, the situation is more pronounced in developing countries because many households, social groups and regions have a limited capacity to adapt to climate variability and change (UNFCCC, 2007; IPCC 2007). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007:6) defined climate change as any change in climate over time, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity. The (UNFCCC 2007) espoused that agricultural production on the African continent relies primarily on rainfall. As such, any interruption in rainfall pattern and intensity will adversely affect the poor, predominantly the smallholder farmers (ibid).
They also include the replacement of undersized structures such as bridges. These works are necessary, as the original channels have become undersized as a result of the increase in flood flows caused by development. Flash flood also can be overcome with storage ponds of flood attenuation. Ponds such as disused mining pools can be used for flood storage. The objective is to divert the flood water through such ponds and thus regulate the outflow so that the flood peaks are attenuated.
After the flood, people can experience emotional problems. They may have lost their sense of security and have difficulty sleeping when it rains or storms, for instance. This is called immaterial damage. The consequences for people depend on the amount of water, the speed with which the water rises, whether they can evacuate, the strength and height of the houses and whether they are able to stay home to wait out the flood in a good way.
The formation of the main reason is due to flood alluvial. When floods occur, especially in mountainous areas, the following
