Frequently Asked Questions
What is pond excavation and why is it important?
Pond excavation refers to the process of digging out soil to create or re-establish ponds. It’s important because it helps preserve surface water, improves drainage systems, creates water reservoirs for irrigation, and maintains ecological balance. Re-excavation of existing ponds that have filled up over time is particularly valuable as it restores their capacity to hold water.
What are the benefits of pond excavation in Bangladesh?
Pond excavation in Bangladesh provides multiple benefits including:
- Creating opportunities for income generation through fish cultivation
- Enabling year-round vegetable cultivation
- Reducing pressure on underground water resources
- Improving water availability during dry seasons
- Supporting agricultural irrigation
- Enhancing flood protection
- Preserving surface water resources
How much does pond excavation typically cost in Bangladesh?
Costs vary depending on the size and location of the pond. Government-funded projects have allocated different amounts, such as BDT 2 lakhs for the Pankhali shelter project pond and BDT 63 lakhs for four ponds at the Burigoalini Asharyan project. Large-scale projects like the “Countrywide ponds and canals development project” have been approved with an estimated cost of Taka 13.34 billion.
What methods are used for pond excavation in Bangladesh?
Pond excavation can be done through:
- Manual labor for smaller ponds
- Mechanical excavation using excavators and bulldozers for larger projects
- Combination approaches depending on site accessibility and project scope
The choice of method depends on factors like soil type, project size, and available resources.
What types of soil conditions affect pond excavation?
Different soil types require different approaches to excavation:
- Soft clayey soil/loose sand/silt (easier to excavate)
- Medium stiff clayey soil
- Very stiff (hard) clayey soil/rubbish
- Very soft/saturated/organic clayey soil
Each soil type has different excavation rates and requires specific techniques1.
How can pond water be used after excavation?
After pond excavation, the water can be used for:
- Household purposes, saving underground water
- Livestock rearin
- Fish cultivation
- Irrigation of agricultural land
- Vegetable cultivation
- Supporting local biodiversity
