Analysing the morphometric parameters is the most expedient and parsimonious way of representing the hydrologic and physiographic attributes of river basins. The present study attempts to measure the morphometric parameters for assessing the understanding of morphological, hydrological, and physiographic properties of the south-western part of Ganges delta. Parameters were analysed from Shuttle Radar Topography Mission's (SRTM) maps and total of eight linear, six areal, eight relief, and five drainage texture parameters have taken with hypsometric analysis for the four major rivers and two tributary river basins. The values of linear parameter denote that most of the streams (82%) fall in first order, and other orders have homogeneous underline materials. The aerial parameters represent low peak discharge and the upper region is less vulnerable to flood. The relief parameter values show that the entire basin has low surface runoff and they are less erosional (slope < 3.97°). The drainage density indicates the coarser nature and circularity ratio (0.08) represents the elongated shape. The southern portion of the basin has a greater flood potential and hypsometric index (0.49) shows the entire basin is in mature stage of formation. These results would be helpful for reckoning the watersheds for drainage management and environmental planning for ecological management and sustainable development.

The study attempts to assess the “Amar Bari Amar Khamar (ABAK)” project's criteria strategically. The ABAK project targets poverty in Bangladesh, and strategies are the economic development of the rural areas and develop social and women empowering conditions. The assessment would be a fruitful way to indicate the underlying factors and the magnitude of the project's succession in livelihood outcomes. The impact and change in the post-project period had been signified through the factors of the livelihood framework. A field survey was done through a questionnaire to collect the research data. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were done; the pear sample t-test was used to identity the change, and the multiple regress ion model and indices were used to measure poverty. Income sectors were found changed from agricultural to non-agricultural based. Despite all positive changes to the capital assets, the project had limited success in poverty reduction. Savings and women empowerment were prominent in the post-project period. A user- friendly loaning policy will help to gain the ultimate success in poverty reduction in the vulnerability context.
