“…Dinajpur district encompasses between 25°10′ and 26°04′ north latitudes and 88°23′ and 89°18′ east longitudes which covers 3437.98 square kilometer area of 13 upazilas. Irregular elevated Barind tract is found here and major rivers are the Dhepa, the Punarbhava, and the Atrai (Rana et al, 2022). There are two distinct seasons in the Northwestern region's: a wet season from June to October and a dry season from November to March.…”

Monitoring changes in land use and land cover (LULC) is essential for determining the state of the environment. This study is an attempt to assessing changes in LULC patterns and forest cover at northern region (Dinajpur district) of Bangladesh for the periods 1989–1999, 1999–2010, 2010–2020 and 1989-2020. Landsat satellite images were applied and supervised classification was done. There is a noticeable change found in LULC classes (Built-up, crop/fallow, forest, homestead and water). The built-up and homestead increased by 210.36% and 134.71%; whereas the crop/fallow, forest, and water decreased by 12.27%, 74.99% and 39.77%, respectively between 1989 to 2020. Forest was narrowed as majority of forest land transferred to homestead (8089.02ha) and crop/fallow (5965.74ha) land in last three decades (1989-2020). The findings of the study help in important policy implications for the sustainable LULC management in Dinajpur region of Bangladesh.

“…Research conducted in Tamil Nadu, India, used climate information from the India Meteorological Department, including the 30 years (1984–2013) of regional rainfall and temperature data, to investigate drought scenarios (Balaganesh et al, 2020). Rana et al (2022) followed nine parameters, namely elevation, slope, geology, drainage density, rainfall, soil, topographic wetness index (TWI), modified normalised difference water index (MNDWI) and land use land cover (LULC), to prepare GWPZ mapping in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. The data used for the GWPZ model to further predict drought scenarios vary from region to region as each region has its own unique geographical characteristics, and there is an issue of data availability (Owolabi et al, 2020; Roy et al, 2022).…”

This article tends to analyse the drought scenario of the Naogaon district in Bangladesh through groundwater potential zone modelling. The study’s findings illustrate that the maximum area covers a moderately potential groundwater zone. The study data also portrays various threats, including food insecurity and economic, social and environmental risks that were noticed as a consequence of the severe drought. The findings from the data indicate that the Porsha and Sapahar upazillas (sub-districts) of Naogaon district are more vulnerable zones in terms of drought. It is noteworthy that the people have been using indigenous knowledge to combat drought hazards. Local people are using crop calendars, agronomic management, water harvesting practices for less water-consuming crops and changes in occupation to manage the risks of drought in the study region.
