Detail Narrative Description of the Project:

 

The River Survey Project (FAP-24) is one of the supporting activities of the Flood Action Plan. It comprises of:

comprehensive field survey programme; investigation into hydro-morphological process and study their effects; and

a training component

 

The project aimed at providing on the job training to BWDB Engineers and Sub-Asstt. Engineers on hydro-morphological data collection and in new river survey techniques. The on-the-job field training on major rivers like Jamuna/Padma/Ganges also included collection of data for practical use.
