ABSTRACT:
The paper presents the Sundarban Mangrove Forest and its hydro-enivronmental aspects in particular. The Sundarban Forest is covered by numerous distributaries of the Ganges delta along the coastal belt of the Bay of Bengal of southwest lowland area. The lithological distribution of the surface area is of Geological Quaternary Age. These are clay, mud, silt, medium to fine sand and small patches of shell fragments in the beach area. Brief investigation of channel/ stream / river waters which indicated that the pH values varied from 7.5 to 8.4 and the recorded electrical conductivity (EC) ranges from 7,920 to 19,400 �s/cm, and others ionic concentrations are also found in higher condition. The Sundarban Mangrove Forest frequently become of severe cyclones, tidal flooding and storm surges. The present study can help in the future planning and development of the lowland area of the Sundarban Mangrove Forest.
