“…Although a study on fish passage between the Jamuna and Bangali rivers recorded a total of 69 fish species under 9 orders and 26 families by using different types of fine nets, that is a little bit more than in our study (Zaman and Naser, 2019). Previously, Bhuiyan (1964) concluded a survey on the River Buriganga in Dhaka by recording a total of 71 freshwater fish species under 25 families and 45 genera from the river, but in recent years Baki et al (2017) reported a total of 56 fish species belonging to 20 families and 9 orders from the same river.…”

“…The water quality of the river has been deteriorating due to intensive human intervention, unplanned urbanization, rapid industrialization and population pressure around the river (Sarker, 2005;Moniruzzaman et al, 2009;Nouri et al, 2009). The large input of organic matter to aquatic flood plain habitats may reduce the amont of dissolved oxygen which results in the emigration or reduction of a great number of fish in the river (Winemiller, 1989;Baki et al, 2017). Threats from these types of human intervention might be a potential reason for species reduction in the River Buriganga.…”

The present survey aimed to explore the fish fauna diversity, abundance and conservation status in the Jamuna River, a tributary of the River Brahmaputra, Bangladesh. During the study period from November 2018 to October 2019, a total of 55 species of fish were recorded, belonging to 6 orders, 20 families and 41 genera from the five selected stations near the river. Orders Cypriniformes and Siluriformes were recorded as the dominant group in the fish fauna community that comprises 34.55% and 30.91% of total species, respectively. Various types of Small Indigenous Species (SIS) and a total of 26 International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red-listed species were recorded. Population indices, viz. Shannon–Weaver index (H), Simpson’s dominance index (D), Simpson’s index of diversity (1-D), Margalef’s index (d) and Evenness (E), were applied to demonstrate the species diversity, richness and evenness of fish, and their overall values were 1.28-1.48, 0.26-0.33, 0.67-0.74, 1.22-1.46 and 0.77-0.86, respectively. To sustain the prospect of fisheries biodiversity in the Jamuna River of Bangladesh, different fish management and conservation plan of action specifically establishing and maintaining fish sanctuaries, banning indiscriminate fishing and the use of destructive fishing gears for the protection of the breeding and nursery grounds of fish should be taken into consideration with utmost priority.

“…It was mentioned that these changes may result in the intrusion of seawater into the lake, leading to an increase in the lake's salinity (Eid & Shaltout, 2013;Shalby et al, 2020;Ouda, 2022). Therefore, understanding the taxonomic composition is critical for sustainable water bodies management (Baki et al, 2017).…”

This study aimed to analyze the impact of rehabilitation projects on the taxonomic composition of Burullus Wetland. Published secondary data covering the lake's production from 1998 to 2021 underwent descriptive analysis. The primary data were collected and analyzed through a cost-benefit analysis. The findings revealed a significant increase in the total production of Burullus Wetland, particularly in key species such as tilapia and grass carp, accompanied by a noteworthy decrease in catfish production after rehabilitation. This indicates a negative impact on certain fish speciesBased on the evaluation results, all fishing nets generate positive net income. Moreover, legal nets demonstrate superior efficiency when compared to their illegal counterparts. The results underscore the considerable relative importance of tilapia production in Burullus Wetland, emphasizing the need to balance development and environmental preservation to enhance lake efficiency and maintain species diversity. Preserving the class composition of fish is similarly crucial. Further studies are needed after the completion of this phase to precisely determine the impact of disinfection and development operations.

“…This river is of paramount importance as the main drainage channel of Dhaka city (Salam and Alam, 2014) and is of great importance from an economic point of view (Ahmed and Bodrud-Doza, 2013). The Turag is also home to a substantial amount of human activity ranging from navigation (Rahman et al, 2013), fishing (Baki et al, 2015), agriculture (World Bank, 2007), and in many instances, as a source of water for domestic purposes (Bhuiyan et al, 2011). Considering the sources of drinking water and the proportion of households adjacent to the Turag River, twelve areas, namely Konabari, Kashimpur, Ichharkandi, Palasana, Gutia, Gusulia, Bhakral, Bhadam, Rashadia, Kathaldia, Abdullahpur, and Mausaid (Map 1) were selected for the survey.…”

The present study aims to investigate the available water sources for drinking and domestic purposes and their relationship with the occurrence of diseases in a given community. To accomplish this, 1826 households in the Turag River area of Tongi at twelve different locations were surveyed. Six focus group discussions (FGDs) and twelve key informant interviews (KIIs) were also conducted in six different Turag River locations. Data on water quality has been gathered from various government surveys (BNDWQS, 2011; BBS, 2017; SVRS, 2019, etc.), international reports (WHO, World Bank, etc.), individual studies, and other relevant sources. Of all the recorded (13) drinking water sources, motorized tubewells were the most common and were used by 73.8 percent of respondents. Other sources include pipe connections into the yard (16.7%) and dwelling (4.5%), deep and shallow tube wells (2.6%), public tap water (2.1%) etc. The study also revealed that a notable percentage (2.8%) of the survey population still depended on open sources such as rainwater, rivers, lakes, ponds, etc., for drinking and domestic purposes. The respondents also reported the presence of yellow crust (iron) and other unwanted components in their water sources, with foul odors and unpleasant tastes. It has also been documented that the communities have been suffering from various diseases, such as diarrhea, skin diseases, dysentery, malaria, jaundice, typhoid, tuberculosis, pneumonia, cholera, etc. diseases over the past year. The Spearman's rho (ρ’s) test showed significant associations between these diseases and the water sources. The issues identified by the present study are likely to aid policymakers in including water and health concerns in national policy and ensuring access to sustainable water resources, aligning with SDGs 6.1, 6.3, and 6.4.
