Abstract
Beel Kapalia is basically a marsh land or natural depression which lies in Monirampur upazila under Jessore district to the direction of south eastern from Dhaka. Mitigation of water-logging problem getting suspended sediment deposit gradually under a simulated manner is the driving mechanism for adapting Tidal River Management (TRM) project in the vicinity of the area. Besides, annual rainfall to the respective catchment area resulting flooding problem may be alleviated under proper disaster management program via introducing TRM as a selective approach. But, a lot of disputes and social movement have been arrived considering the demerits of TRM project including destruction of shrimp culture, which could be conducted by channelling the tidal water to marsh land, wetland ecosystem adversity, and assortment of an approximately 750 hectors marsh land and so on. This paper mainly focuses on the feasibility analysis of TRM project influencing to the local community. The field data is being collecting by pursuing social survey as questionnaire method to reveal the inherent perspective of the local people in this regard. Result show that about half of the people have been putting a negative attitude and rest of the sample having a mixed judgments regarding TRM project installation on the respective area. This paper provides an overview regarding the significant implication in an effort to introduce TRM project development in area studied and the finding could be helpful to pursue TRM project analysis in other area to be studied.

Summary
Bangladesh is a land of river and it has approximately 310 rivers. The total length of river is 2400 Km. Bangladesh has 57 trans-boundary rivers [1]. Bangladesh is an over populated country and the population is increasing fast so that the food security is the main problem in the present context. In 1959 the East Pakistan government had taken Coastal Embankment Project (CEP) enclosing all the tidal influence within 90 polders. 39 polders (10, 14,100 acres) are in Khulna-Jessore region enclosed within 1566 km of embankments with 282 sluice gates. After 15 years of CEP implementation of the southwest region [2] siltation started to clog one by one polder at sluice gate and first beel Dakatia became water logged. To solve the water logging problem, Khulna Coastal Embankment Rehabilitation Project (KCERP)
