Book Description
Foreword

The Asiatic Society, as we all know, pioneered the study of Natural Sciences and development studies in close association with the researches in the field of Humanities from the good old days of The Asiatick Researches. The long list of publications provided by the Society would confirm that even the foundation of different specialised research Institutes, Surveys in later days for handling the problems of Natural Sciences and developmental studies did not refrain the Society from these studies.

Preface

Sundarban, literally meaning beautiful forests, can be a subject of fascinating study. Although a very few studies were undertaken in the past on limited aspects of Sun- darban, there has been practically no study on the development efforts made in the region and particularly in the Lower Sundarban Delta.

Introduction

Non-urban growth in deltaic areas constitutes a separate eco-system which is largely dissimilar to other non-urban development patterns. Although rich in a few natural resources peculiar to them, deltaic areas are one of the poorest in the world because of high soil salinity causing considerable plant mortality, hardness of dry or semi-dry soil requiring mechanical tilling power, lack of good quality irrigation water, difficulties in drainage. facilities, visitation of cyclonic storms causing heavy tidal inundation and poor transport and communication facilities. Yet the deltaic areas are inhabited throughout the world by a sizeable number of the population who struggle day and night with the forces of nature and the wild land and sea animals for their survival.
