SHARING RESOURCES
A national water policy for Bangladesh is on the anvil. This was announced by water resources minister Abdur Razzak in Dhaka recently. The country is all set to launch a planning exercise for a Ganges barrage in Greater Faridpur to provide irrigation to an area of 1.9 million hectares through an integrated water resource development programme. The minister also said that a joint rivers commission will try to find out a solution to sharing of the waters of the Teesta, Brahmaputra and other rivers.
