Appendix

Shoreline Restoration• Strategy 1: Reforestation• Planting seedlings along cleared

shoreline – Decrease storm surge– Shoreline retention

• Naluvedapathy example– Indian village affected by tsunami– Planted 80,244 Casuarina saplings– Completely protected from tsunami

winds and rain after 2 years

– 17 –

Mangrove farms

– 18 –

• Prevents erosion, builds up ecosystem• Hire farmers to plant, infuses money

into economy• Subsidies for land owners that continue

upkeep of mangrove farms

Need for Sustainable energy

– 19 –

• National natural gas and electric power shortage– Market for sustainable energy source– Small reserves of oil and coal, but large natural gas

resources. • Electricity can improve farming business and

fishing industry– Shrimp unable to be exported because of unsafe

processing• Tap into established power grid to export energy

to rest of the country

Resilience

BuildingRenewable

energy

Wind farms

– 20 –

• Cyclone proof• $23,000• Pilot project built with a few• Outside investors

– Government– Renewable Energy Policy of Bangladesh– Kyoto Protocol

• Carbon Credits through Clean Development Mechanism– Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee– Grameen Shakti– Sustainable Energy Development Authority

• Paying landowners to use property• Constructed and maintained by Vergnet (France)

– 275 kW / hr• Average household uses 136 kW / hr per annum

Tidal power

– 21 –

• Constructed on sluice gates on embankments– $4,270 per power plant– 2~5 meter tidal head/height rise and fall

• Create pond on land side for shrimp farming• Rice paddies on banks• Electricity used for fish processing, farming• Seek supplemental funding

– Rural Electrification Board (REB)– Centre for Mass Education in Science (CMES)– Grameen Bank– Institute for Sustainability and Technology Policy

(ISTP)– Tidal Energy Australia (TEA)

Tidal power

Tide coming inEstuary

Sustainable Aquaculture

– 23 –

• Current practices degrade prevents mangrove destruction

• Create fishing sanctuaries• Electric power from alternative energy

sources• Ice produced with energy from wind and

tide used in packing of shrimp and fish• Processing harvest with energy from wind

and tide increases distance of export

Renewable Energy

– 24 –

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4

• Create pilot windmill

• Seek outside investors

• Build embankments

Win

dmill

s

• Create pilot tide power plant

• Build embankments• Seek outside

investors

• Utilize energy for farming, fish processing

• Seek outside investors• Build more plants and

embankments• Sell charged batteries to

locals

• Build more windmills• Build tube wells

attached to the windmills

• Seek outside investors

• Connect to national power grid for energy distribution

Tida

Energy conservation is the foundation of energy independence.

Roads

– 25 –

• Needed because unable to get supplies for building• Cyclone proof• Provide skilled workers and distribution center• Seeking outside investors, Partnerships with

– Rural Transport Improvement Project (World Bank) $180 M budget

– National Land Transport Policy– Road Maintenance and Improvement Project

• $117 M budget• Focus on fixing secondary roads

– National, regional, zila roads

Connecting

Resources

Roads

Embankments

– 26 –

• On coastal fronts• Outside investors

– Coastal Embankment Rehabilitation & Reconstruction Project (World Bank)

o an estimate cost of $ 53.00 million budget

o Use recycled materials to create embankments

o Cost is based on acres being used and materials already available

• Creation of sluice gates for tidal power– an estimate cost of

$31,000 for 200 acres

Clean water• Community Involvement issue • Places about 70 million people at

risk • NGOs distribute Family filters for

arsenic removal• $35 per year per family

• Arsenic poisoning not a serious concern for this area

• Tube wells raised by NGOs after cyclone

• Brake fern (Pteris vittata ) is effective in extracting arsenic
