Monitoring of Water in Coastal Bangladesh

Title: Community-Based Monitoring of Water and Agricultural Stress in Coastal Bangladesh.

This AWSS poster was developed around a simple question: What happens when environmental change is experienced every day, but formal monitoring is limited?

In coastal Bangladesh, farmers’ and fishers’ experiences were treated as data and systematically documented, compared, and mapped to identify environmental stress. Their lived observations were not just treated as stories rather used as evidence alongside spatial and environmental analysis.
