Riverbank erosion, one of the major natural disasters in Bangladesh. Every year, riverbank erosion leads to millions of people being affected as it results in damage and loss of crops, cattle, housing structures, and farmland. Additionally, it erodes away public infrastructure and communication systems. The unpredictable shifting behavior of the rivers and their encroachments not only affect the rural floodplain population but also the urban growth centers and infrastructures. According to the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) the most erosion prone districts are Bogra, Sirajganj, Kurigram, Lalmonirhat, Gaibandha and Rangpur, in the country’s north, and Chandpur, Manikganj, Rajbari Shariatpur, and Faridpur in Dhaka zone, with Tangail and Jamalpur in Mymensingh zone, and the coastal areas of Patuakhali.
