In this book an age old practice, adopted by some
remotely stationed residents away from the national electricity
grid, to harness the electricity from the small canals flowing by
the side of their properties have been recalled, strengthened by
the engineering students research on the subject, confirming
that the energy from the river water flow have scientific basis
for delivering MW level electricity generation through use of
Turbines that could now be best suited for Bangladesh. The
relevant research studies, along with the factual status of the
energy sector in the country having profound impact on
national economy and the possible bleak future with fast
depleting indigenous gas deposits without any ray of hope for
the discovery of any new international standard gas fields and
other relevant facts have been focused and other contemporary
published opinions by eminent scholars, economists, engineers
and scientists have been borrowed, quoted or reproduced in the
book. The author is indebted to the respective sources of
contribution be it newspaper reports, Technical, Economic or
Thesis Papers published in journals, meeting references or any
correspondences on the subject that have been referred or used
in the book. In some cases it had not been possible to contact
individually with the authors, nevertheless their contribution to
frame the book is equally acknowledged and the author would
like to express his gratitude to all concerned.
While preparing the book the author had regular contact
and blessed with many valuable improvements in the thought
process by the friends and colleagues in the professional life.
They definitely deserve a thank to for their encouragements
It would be unfair to Ruby, Mou, Mithi, Mashaiekh,
Shoma, Mahreen Marjuk, Mizan, Mahdi, Masroor, Munahid,
Mardiah and Jaglul if thy are not mentioned for their supports
to complete the book to combat the energy crisis in Bangladesh
as reflected herein. So, Thank you all and special Thanks to
Mahreen for making the cover page
