Study on the Aridity in the North-Western (NW) Part of Bangladesh through Combined Application of Remote Sensing, GIS and Geophysical Data

Abstract

In the present paper, hydro-environmental behaviour of two adjacent but characteristically different land areas of (i) semi-arid Barind Tract and (ii) Ganges flood plain situated in the north-western part of Bangladesh have been studied and possible mechanisms of variability in the two study sites have been investigated. Time series remote sensing data supplemented with climatic, geophysical and groundwater data and other ancillary information have been analysed for the purpose. Coupling of Landsat TM derived vegetation cover information with meteorological data depicts higher sensitivity of Barind Tract than the other study site towards vegetation cover changes in response to rainfall amount. Temporal sequence of albedo value as derived from Landsat TM data manifests appropriate seasonal trend that is consistent with field observations. Analysis of rainfall data over a period of about 50 years depicts substantially higher rainfall in both the study sites as compared to a typical semiarid region. However, temporal distribution of rainfall events is mostly concentrated within very short period of time in the year. Lithological information on the subsurface configuration depicts the existence of a relatively impermeable clayey layer near the top surface in these areas. Relatively higher thickness of this impermeable clayey layer over the semiarid Barind areas has been noticed that slows down the infiltration process significantly as compared to that in adjacent floodplain areas. Analysis of drainage network exhibits relatively higher drainage density in the Barind Tract area as compared to that in floodplain area. The drainage pattern shows predominantly unidirectional and distributary nature of drainage in the Barind Tract area and in general, distribution is oriented towards basin direction and most of the branches of the drainage system. Ultimately, relatively higher elevation, steeper slope result in relatively quicker surface runoff to carry out excess rain water to the nearest basins, results in decreased infiltration of rainwater. Eventually, the conversion efficiency of Barind Tract area to transform intercepted rainwater into underground reservoir water through infiltration seems to be lower as compared to that of floodplain areas.
