Desertification of Bengal Dryland Areas Possible under Projected Climate Conditions
Kartic Bera, Michelle E. Newcomer, and Pabitra Banik
India Meteorological Department
Drylands are some of the most sensitive areas to climate change and human activities around the globe. Assessment of future climate trend scenarios provides valuable practical information for dryland management decision-making. According to Huang et al. (2017), more than 50% of global drylands will expand by this century, with a maximum (78%) of newly expanded dryland occurring in developing countries. To understand the potential for expansion of drylands and desertification, we examine critical predictor variables (temperature and precipitation) of Bengal dryland expansion to guide early actions to mitigate and prevent desertification. Using trend analysis of bias-corrected CMIP6 projected climate change data for temperature and precipitation (2022-2041), results indicate future dryland expansion is possible from increases in temperature and declines in monsoonal precipitation. Over the next two decades (2022-2041), Bengal dryland areas will be 0.1-0.5°C warmer, and rainfall will decrease by 2.57-13.43cm total during the monsoon period. Given these variables are critical predictors of dryland expansion because of their role in driving evapotranspiration and soil moisture deficits; we anticipate an increase in the population affected by water scarcity, land degradation, and desertification. Our work provides information critical for effective dryland management, biodiversity conservation, and land-use planning under future climate conditions.

Abstract The increasing demands on fresh water resources by our burgeoning population and diminishing quality of existing water resources because of pollution and the additional requirements of serving our spiraling industrial and agricultural growth have led to a situation where the consumption of water is rapidly increasing and the supply of fresh water remains more or less constant. In the context of quality, potable water is always meager for the present and future. The study is an innovative attempt towards the development of the watershed on the earth science platform. Thereafter the balancing of water resources for domestic and agricultural uses is also tried. The focus is mainly on surface water for present use and groundwater for future. This management plan especially includes socially and economically backward demographic conditions. The present study is an integrated approach for a micro-watershed development plan of the Kansachara sub-watershed.
