Bangladesh's Rivers at Risk: A Glimpse of Tomorrow's Water Crises.

However, Bangladesh needs more support from wealthy nations to adapt to the hazards they already face. The country's ambitious national adaptation plan with expensive projects, like dredging rivers of silt and building embankments to hold back the sea, is yet to be realized.
