Abstract	An enormous amount of power is required in a rising nation like Bangladesh, where achieving economic growth without endangering the environment is a burning issue. The majority of people who live in coastal areas of Bangladesh do not have sufficient access to electricity. There are almost 40 million people living along Bangladesh's 724-km shoreline. Furthermore, it is remarkable that coastal regions have year-round winds, strong enough to generate enormous amounts of power. The viability and promise of wind energy in Bangladesh's southern regions are highlighted in this study. The places demonstrate the possibility for cheaper power production at 30 m-40 m altitudes. The rate of electricity does, however, rise with height. The main objective of this study is to analyze the prospect of wind energy in Sandwip and Kalapara coastal areas of Bangladesh. The data from 1990 to 2020 was taken from the database from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) and NASA's NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory). These data sources were used to determine the wind power density, wind power output, energy yield, and finally estimate the CO

Abstract	Thrace is a part of the Marmara Region northwest of Türkiye. This region hosts several lentic ecosystems used for irrigation and drinking water supply. The present study was conducted to analyze the temporal distributions of water quality parameters (WQPs) of lentic ecosystems (lacustrine habitats), including lakes (L1-L2), reservoirs (R1-R12), and ponds (P1-P19) of the Thrace Region. Thirty-three lacustrine habitats were identified in the region. Freshwaters were collected in the wet (end of winter) and dry (end of summer) seasons of 2021-2022 and tested for 12 WQPs. Data was evaluated for the water quality index (WQI) and nutrient pollution index (NPI) and their overall quality level. For the evaluation of non-carcinogenic health risk indices of WQPs, the chronic daily index (CDI), hazard quotient (HQ), and hazard index (HI) were applied. Cluster analysis (CA), Pearson correlation index (PCI), and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to classify the lacustrine habitats and identify the source of WQPs. The average values were as follows: 9.28 mg/L for dissolved oxygen (DO), 94.6% for oxygen (O

Abstract	World's fossil fuels are disappearing rapidly due to multidimensional uses, mainly for electricity generation. Nevertheless, Bangladesh has also a very limited source of natural gas and coal for electricity production. Hence, the major goal of this review is to outlines the present status of installed renewable generations in the country and predict the future prospect. Despite the existence of literature's abundance on Bangladesh's potential for renewable energy (RE), and their prospects, nothing is covered about the phases of renewable energy projects like projects already completed and running, projects implementation ongoing, and projects under planning. Therefore, an endeavor has been made for the first time to expose Bangladesh's three phases of renewable energy, including projects that are currently operational, those that are still being implemented, and projects that are still in the planning stages. Data was collected from Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB), Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL), International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century (REN21), International Hydropower Association (IHA), Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA), Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MODMR), and Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MOPMER). Based on these data, this research suggests that Bangladesh is generating 723.26 Megawatt (MW) electricity from renewable sources including 67.61% from solar, 31.80% from hydro, 0.58% from others including wind, biogas and biomass, where 489 MW electricity makes from over 6 million (63, 25, 278) of installed solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems till mid of April 2021 and a total of 6,408,721 numbers of RE plants are completed and running. Bangladesh is a prospective area for harvesting solar, wind, and bioenergy with limited hydropower, despite the fact that over 42% of rural societies still lack access to electricity. This review will help investors, shareholders, researchers and decision makers of both public and private sector to realize the latest renewable energy situation of Bangladesh, and for future planning and management in a sustainable way.

Abstract	This study was carried out to determine the spatiotemporal distributions of organic pollution parameters in the Meriç-Ergene River Basin subjected to intensive agricultural and industrial pressure. A total of 5 basin components, including Anadere (A), Çorlu (Ç), Tunca (T), Meriç (M), and Ergene (E) rivers, and 9 stations (A1, Ç1, T1, M1-M2, and E1-E4) were identified in the watershed, and surface water samples were collected in the dry (end of summer) and wet (end of winter) seasons of 2021-2022. The Water Quality Index (WQI) and Nutrient Pollution Index (NPI) were applied to the data to evaluate the overall water quality characteristics. The Chronic Daily Index (CDI), Hazard Quotient (HQ), and Hazard Index (HI) were applied to the data to reveal the probable noncarcinogenic health risks of organic contaminants. Cluster Analysis (CA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were applied to the data to classify the sampling sites and identify the source apportionment of organic pollution parameters. The recorded spatiotemporal averages of the investigated parameters in the basin are as follows: 6.26 mg/L for DO, 9 for pH, 1626 μS/cm for EC, 985 mg/L for TDS, 1 ‰ for salinity, 6.88 mg/L for nitrate, 0.1 mg/L for nitrite, 1.8 mg/L for phosphate, 81 mg/L for sulfate, and 473 mg/L for chloride. The results indicate that the most contaminated components of the basin are Çorlu Stream and Ergene River, and in addition to their quite high salt and nutrient content, they have extreme hypoxic conditions to the extent that it is impossible for many aquatic organisms to live. The contamination degrees of the investigated basin components were determined using the organic pollution risk assessment indices as follows: Çorlu Stream > Ergene River > Anadere Stream > Tunca River > Meriç River.

Abstract	Metal enrichment in lake sediments originating from multiple sources can threaten both the aquatic ecosystem and human health. Therefore, assessment of the eco-environmental risks and potential sources of metals in the sediments is essential for effective lake management. Here, we analyzed the sediment metal contents of Kaptai Lake, the largest lake in Bangladesh for the first time with this study. The results indicated that only Cr and Ni contents among the metals studied exceeded the probable effect concentrations (PEC) at 25.42 % and 55.93 % of the sampling stations, respectively. All metals at most sampling stations showed low contamination and low ecological risk based on the individual indices (geoaccumulation index, contamination factor, ecological risk factor, enrichment factor and modified hazard quotient). There was no significant risk from the combined metals in the sediments of the lake according to the synergistic indices (toxic risk index, Nemerow risk index, ecological risk index, Nemerow pollution index and pollution load index). Organic matter and silt were significant sediment parameters that favored the accumulation of Cr, Fe, Cu, Pb and Mn. In the absolute principle component scores-multiple linear regression model (APCS-MLR), five potential sources of metals were identified in the sediments: Zn, Mn, Co and Cd mainly from natural sources and to a lesser extent from agricultural and aquacultural activities, Ni, Cr and Fe from parent materials, Pb and Cu mainly from natural sources and to a lesser extent from vehicle emissions, Hg and U from lithogenic sources, and As from natural sources. This study will improve our knowledge of the sedimentary metal contents of Kaptai Lake and provide helpful information for developing effective lake management and pollution control strategies.

Abstract	The global mean surface temperature is rising and under climate change it is expected to increase in the future. The changes are not uniform across the world and the impact assessment at a regional level is, thus, a necessity. Bangladesh, a tropical low-lying monsoon region, is greatly at risk under climate change. However, no attempt has been carried out to assess the changes in frequency of extreme temperatures (return period values) under the backdrop of climate change which is required in practical applications. The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in temperature extremes: maximum (Tx) and minimum (Tn) at the daily time scale under climate change in Bangladesh. The multi-model ensemble methodology comprised of five general circulation models and two emission scenarios from CMIP6 framework was used to evaluate the impact in two future time horizons: 2021–2060 and 2061–2100. The L-moment based frequency analysis with annual maxima (minima) data was used to quantify extreme temperatures in terms of return levels. With this approach, the identification of a probability distribution is one important aspect which is investigated in this study. We have found that the generalized normal (GNO) distribution is quite appropriate of describing the temperature extremes. There is a significant increase in location parameter which signifies a uniform shift for the extreme tail of the distribution. There are no appreciable overall changes in scale and shape parameter. The temperature extremes (both Tx and Tn) are expected to increase noticeably compared to the present observed condition. There is a tendency to have a greater estimate of extremes in the far future than the near future. The greater estimate is also perceived under the high emission scenario in comparison to the medium emission scenario. The country average change in 20-year return period value of Tx by the end of this century is about 3–4.7 °C compared to the corresponding changes of 2.4 to 3.7 °C for Tn. The findings are expected to assist in the evaluation of climate change impacts and adaptation strategies in Bangladesh.

Abstract	Bangladesh is one of the countries that is most likely to be affected by natural disasters and climate change. However, much less is known about the integrated livelihood and climate vulnerabilities of coastal communities to natural disasters in southwestern Bangladesh. Therefore, this paper proposes a holistic approach to measuring livelihood vulnerability in the southwestern coast of Bangladesh based on primary data from 300 respondents through face-to-face interviews, focus group discussion (FGD), and key informant interviews (KII), and secondary data on rainfall and temperature for the years 2010–2017. This study developed the livelihood vulnerability index (LVI), the climate vulnerability index (CVI), and the LVI-IPCC to estimate climate vulnerability by incorporating 36 indicators of 9 major components under three dimensions. The pragmatic results show that the three coastal unions have different LVI, CVI, and LVI-IPCC values. Still, the households of the Gabura union showed more vulnerability than the rest of the two, with the highest LVI, CVI, and LVI-IPCC values due to their inadequate access to fresh water, limited physical resources, fewest livelihood strategies, the least variety of crops, and worst health conditions. This logical approach may be applied in data-scarce regions to assess vulnerability and evaluate potential policy efficiency for baseline comparison. The study demonstrates that the requirement for focused interventions and context-specific sustainable policies and development approaches should be implemented to lessen the vulnerability of coastal dwellers. These findings have implications for developing and implementing household resilience and climate change adaptation projects by the government, donor organizations, and other pertinent groups in three susceptible unions.

Abstract	This study attempts to analyse the historical records and satellite images, and determines the dynamic morphological changes using Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques in order to delineate the paleo-course and the dimensions of the Brahmaputra River. Additionally, land transformations due to route change from Old Brahmaputra-Meghna to Jamuna River were also evaluated. The study revealed that owing to the route changes, the Jamuna River grabbed about 2817 km² of invaluable land resources that were well developed. Whereas Brahmaputra-Meghna river course was associated with ∼4563 km² newly developed lands which are currently being used for settlement, business, and agricultural purposes. Thus, if the river system changes its route again and follows the former path, the lands associated with the Brahmaputra-Meghna river course may again be scoured by the river. Hence, it is suggested that the necessary preparations should be adopted to maintain the current flow of the Brahmaputra through the Jamuna River which may help to protect the newly developed landmasses. Since the present route is straighter than the old Brahmaputra course, it would be easier to manage and maintain the current route of the Brahmaputra via the Jamuna River. Finally, a sustainable river basin management approach may be lucrative for both local as well as international communities.
