However, Syeda Rizwana Hasan pointed out that some aspects are not too much complicated. For instance, it is crucial to know when floodwaters will enter Bangladesh, the extent of that influx, the rainfall amounts, and the potential flow within Bangladesh.

Environment, forest and climate change affairs adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan said, “We have to know where infrastructure is being built on shared water bodies—not just by India, but also by China, Nepal, and others. Without unaware of this, the country’s water management would fall in risk completely.”
Referring to neighbouring countries, the adviser said simply stating on a website that heavy rainfall is occurring does not provide necessary information. How heavy is the rainfall? Is it the heaviest on record?
