Present Practices and Environmental Conditions of Polder 43/2A

In polder 43/2A the homesteads, water bodies, homestead gardens and roads cover about 1,500 ha of the gross area of 5,100 ha. Based on the Master Plan Organization classification land types with respect to seasonal flooding caused by rainfall and tidal effects are distributed as highland 945 ha, medium highland 2,380 ha and medium lowland 175 ha ( Master Plan Organization, 1986 ). The land types have been considered on the basis of inundation depth, which is caused due to drainage congestion when there is excess rainfall and entrance of tidal water during the wet season.
