Impacts of river bank erosion on population displacement in the lower Brahmaputra (Jamuna) floodplain.
"This study has attempted to focus on dimensions and impacts of displacement by river bank erosion in the lower Brahmaputra (Jamuna) floodplain of Bangladesh.  Based on a survey of 547 randomly selected households, it was observed that about two thirds of the floodplain inhabitants were displaced at least once in their life time."  The socioeconomic consequences are discussed, and implications for development planning are considered.
