Indian border force guns down two Bangladeshi youths

In the short term to medium term yes, but with the rise of sea levels due to climate change that could easily change in the next few decades.

Unless BD can somehow reinforce so many inland rivers with levies, barriers, concrete? maybe find some kind of new radical solution?

BD being such a small nation with a huge population would want to expand want West Bengal and a large part of north east to merge with it.

Bangladesh will sink into the Bay of Bengal in twenty years.

Naw - just kidding,

Honestly people from other countries worry more about Bangladesh' future than we do....two-year-olds know how to swim in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh has actually gained considerable land over the last 55 years. Five times the area of Dhaka city as a matter of fact, in the Bay of Bengal. No need to merge with Indian states.

The new land emerged in the Meghna estuary, where sediments flow down from the Himalayas and turn into 'char' lands (shallow sandy islands).

A study found that the 8.5-magnitude 1950 Assam Earthquake increased the sediment flow and has added a net increase of 1,790 square kilometers to the country’s landmass.

The fact that more char lands have emerged than Bangladesh has lost due to river erosion over the years is among the findings of a study at Centre for Environment and Geographical Information System (CEGIS) in Bangladesh.

The new-found-land was discovered when CEGIS research team analyzed satellite pictures and other data from 1940 tracking sediments coming from the Himalayas and flowing down the Ganges- Padma and Jamuna-Brahmaputra river systems. The rivers deliver about one billion tons of silt a year from India, Nepal, China, and Bhutan to the Meghna estuary, the gateway to the Bay of Bengal.

Bangladesh has implemented and is implementing the following water management programs to tackle rising level of seas. Many are in collaboration with the Dutch Govt, which are a part of the $37 Billion Bangladesh Delta Plan. Many Dutch consultancies and all the water related govt, agencies in Bangladesh (BWDB especially) are involved.

Water, climate and energy: the Netherlands and Bangladesh

The overall aim of the water program in Bangladesh is to contribute to a healthy living environment and wellbeing for the population, as well as economic growth. Particular focus is on the poor and vulnerable. It is anticipated that there will be more extreme rainfall, higher sea water levels...

By the way Bangladesh southern areas typically have options to grow things on water (floating farms). This includes Lauki and other vine-grown vegetables too.

New salt-water adaptable rice varieties have also been developed locally, so saltwater intrusion in coastal areas is no longer an issue to cultivate rice.
