| description | In Bangladesh, the dry season of October to March is characterised by falling water tables, reduction in the discharge of major rivers, drying water channels, and salinity intrusion, particularly in the southwest coastal region. Demand for groundwater is at its highest during this season. Although groundwater has powered the expansion of cereal production over the last two decades or so, the sustainability of groundwater-based agricultural production has been questioned by many researchers. The tension between water supply and demand during the dry season thus has become a critical one. |
