Chapter 5: Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta: The Challenge of Cyclones and Tidal Surges
Author: Dr Murari Lal Gaur PhD Hydrology IIT Roorkee ( Vice Chancellor he Assam Kaziranga University Assam India )
The Ganges–Brahmaputra Delta (GBD), one of the largest and most densely populated deltaic systems in the world, is increasingly subjected to the compounded impacts of cyclones, tidal surges, sea-level rise, and anthropogenic pressures. These hydro-climatic extremes pose significant risks to groundwater systems, which remain the backbone of drinking water security and agricultural sustainability in the region.
This chapter presents a comprehensive and integrative assessment of surface water–groundwater interactions under extreme climatic conditions, with a special focus on groundwater resilience. Utilizing datasets from Central Water Commission, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Central Ground Water Board, and Brahmaputra Board, the analysis combines hydrological, hydrogeological, and climatic datasets with extensive field-based insights developed over four decades of professional engagement across Indian river basins.
The chapter explores key processes such as saline intrusion induced by storm surges, floodplain recharge variability, aquifer contamination, and the evolving dynamics of river–aquifer connectivity. It critically examines existing management strategies while highlighting gaps in integrated basin-scale planning.
A novel contribution of this work is the proposed Integrated Hydro-Intelligence Framework, which integrates IoT-enabled monitoring, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and digital twin technologies for adaptive and predictive water management in deltaic systems.
Drawing upon global experiences, including insights from the International Water Association Global Water Congress, the chapter emphasizes the need for transboundary cooperation, convergence of ecological and engineering approaches, and the integration of experiential field knowledge with advanced modeling tools.
The findings offer a forward-looking roadmap for achieving groundwater sustainability and climate resilience in one of the world’s most vulnerable delta systems.
