Abstract

This study employs a climate-driven hydrological water balance and sediment transport model (HydroTrend) to simulate future climate-driven sediment loads flowing into the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) mega-delta.

This research was supported by the Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation (ESPA) programme
