Abstract: Flash flooding is one of the most recurring natural disasters over the northern part of Bangladesh. Early flash flood causes lot of damages to the standing crop before harvesting like Boro, the major crop cultivated in the haor area (approximately 80%). For better water management and food production, BWDB has implemented 118 Flood Control Drainage (FCD) and Flood Control, Drainage & Irrigation (FCDI) projects in haor area. Pre-monsoon flood hits the region six times during the period of 2000–2017 and approximately 90% Boro crop was damaged in 2017. So, it is of utmost importance to evaluate the design of hydraulics structures by assess the pre and post condition to understand the hydraulics structure’s effectiveness and ecosystem of the Haor.
