Abstract
The Impact of Tidal River Management on Livestock in the Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin
Highlights
The Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin is accompanied by diversified occupational pattern and thereby depend on agriculture and depend on homestead vegetation and animal husbandry
The study selects three adjacent villages of Bhaina tidal basin purposively, which are affected with salinity in varying degree during Tidal River Management (TRM) implementation phase
Peoples’ livelihood in the Ganges-Brahmaputra basin is closely linked with natural resource, environmental features and the processes continuing from generation to generation
Summary
The Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin is accompanied by diversified occupational pattern and thereby depend on agriculture and depend on homestead vegetation and animal husbandry. Animal husbandry is the second largest income source of household after agriculture that predominantly governs the coastal livelihood [1]. Valuable resources for livestock come from wetland such as place for grazing land, water for drinking, trees for shade and shelter, plants and grass that are fundamental need of animals. Goat and other larger domestic animals can be feed by domestic water sources such as ponds, subsurface dams, boreholes, and shallow tube wells but the daily food sources come from agrarian cultivation which mostly depend on wetland [5]
