Flood in Bangladesh has different meaning to different people. For the farmers and villagers, in general, normal flood is a way of life. Many occupational groups earn their livelihood from the normal flooding. As far as environment is concerned, it facilitates bio-diversity and to a great extent supports poor people to have access in common property resources (CPR).
