Ecological Constrained Area Description This map is produced to provide some insight in characterizing areas with different levels of both biophysical and socioeconomic limitations so that due considerations are given in local development interventions. The methodology actually involved in characterizing and delineating areas with unique combination of factors constraining especially agricultural development. The selection criteria for delineating mapping unit boundaries for this purpose include: Areas susceptible to deep inundation. Areas susceptible to flash flood hazard. Areas susceptible to topsoil erosion, landslide, landslip. Areas susceptible to river bank erosion, siltation. Areas exposed to the hazards of salinity, cyclonic storm-surges. Areas with low soil moisture status. Areas without significant constraints. Seven constrained classes shown on the map are: Deeply Inundated Area Flash Flood Area Hill Erosion Area River Erosion Area Tidal Surge Area Low Soil Moisture Area Non Constrained Area Credits Bangladesh Agriculture Research Council (BARC) Limitation of Use This GIS data and any other information presented on this web site is strictly limited to non commercial use.
