| Abstract | "This book focusses on the potential natural resources of Bangladesh from Precambrian to Recent times, and their detailed geological background. Natural resources and their management are most important for the sustainable economic development of a country. Focusing on the geological setting of the Bengal Basin, the book introduces and comprehensively describes the depositional environments, status, and future prospect of the potential natural resources of Bangladesh. Individual chapters outline potential resources comprising of wide range of deposit types scattered across the country. Selective overview of natural resources including metallic minerals, coal, limestone, hydrocarbon, peat, placer deposits, surface, and groundwater, and so forth, is provided with relevant references. It gives synthesis of the issues in mineral, hydrocarbon, and water resource sectors, from resource-economic context. Features: Provides geo-scientific knowledge of the potential natural resources with relevant maps, figures and tables pertaining to Bangladesh region. Explains resource-economic context, geomorphology and sustainable land-use, global climate-change, and its effects on both surface- and ground-water resources. Discusses resource potential based on systematic geological stages. Presents the resources of renewable (geo)energy and how to increase their use and effectiveness. Reinforces basic geological processes and outcomes, understanding of resource geology and constraints on natural resource management. This book aims at Researchers, Graduate Students, and Professionals in Civil, Water Resources Engineering, Geology, Environmental Sciences, Resource exploration and planning, and Hydrogeology"-- Provided by publisher. |
