In addition to the more general matters on the physical setting and socioeconomics of BMR, the report considers a number of issues related to climate change in detail. These are: changes in the inundation pattern, and impact on the population and socioeconomics, and coping mechanisms to deal with the changed situation.CC BY 3.0 IGOAIRPORTALTERNATIVE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTAVERAGE ANNUAL RAINFALLAWARENESS OF CLIMATE CHANGEBASINBATHYMETRYBIOMASSBUSBUS SERVICEBUSESCALCULATIONCALIBRATIONCANALSCATCHMENTCATCHMENT AREACATCHMENT AREASCATCHMENTSCHANNELCHANNEL NETWORKCHARACTERISTICS OF CLIMATE CHANGECHINA SEACLIMATE CHANGE CONSEQUENCESCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGE POLICYCLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOCLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOSCLIMATE FORCINGCLIMATE IMPACTSCLIMATE INFORMATIONCLIMATE PROOFINGCLIMATE SCENARIOCLIMATE SCENARIOSCLIMATE SYSTEMCLIMATE VARIABILITYCOASTAL AREASCOASTAL EROSIONCOASTAL RESOURCESCOASTSCOMMUTERSCOMPOSTINGCONCENTRATIONS OF GROUND-LEVEL OZONECONFLUENCECONSERVATIONCONSERVATION AREACONSTRUCTIONCYCLONESDAMAGESDELTASDIKEDIKESDISASTER PREVENTIONDISCHARGEDISCHARGE HYDROGRAPHDIVERSIONDRAINDRAINAGEDRAINAGE AREADRAINAGE SYSTEMDRAINAGE SYSTEMSDROUGHTSECONOMIC GROWTHECOSYSTEMELECTRIC RAILELECTRICITYELECTRICITY GENERATINGELECTRICITY GENERATIONEMISSIONSEMISSIONS SCENARIOSENERGY INFRASTRUCTUREENERGY SOURCESENERGY SYSTEMENVIRONMENTAL POLICYENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEROSIONESTUARIESEVAPORATIONEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFEASIBILITYFINANCIAL SUPPORTFLOOD PLAINFLOOD PLAINSFLOOD PROTECTIONFLOODED AREAFLOODING PROBLEMSFLOODSFORESTFOSSIL ENERGYFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFREQUENCY OF RAINFALL EVENTSFUEL OILGAUGING STATIONSGHGGLOBAL CLIMATE SYSTEMGLOBAL GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREEN BELTGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSHIGH TIDEHIGH WATERHIGHWAYHIGHWAYSHYDRAULIC STRUCTURESHYDROLOGICAL CYCLEHYDROLOGYIMPACT ANALYSISIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPACTS OF CLIMATE VARIABILITYIMPORTSINCOMEINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURESINJURYINTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGEINTERNATIONAL AIRPORTINTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSINUNDATIONIPCCIRRIGATIONLAND USE CHANGELANDFILLLEVEESLIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASLOCAL MEAN TEMPERATURELOCAL RAINFALLMANGROVE FORESTMANGROVE FORESTSMASS RAPID TRANSITMASS TRANSITMAXIMUM TEMPERATUREMETEOROLOGICAL INFORMATIONMETEOROLOGICAL STATIONSNATIONAL GRIDNATURAL GASNEIGHBORHOODSNETWORK OF EXPRESSWAYSPASSENGER TRIPSPASSENGERSPEAK PERIODPETROLEUM GASPETROLEUM PRODUCTIONPETROLEUM PRODUCTSPHPOLICY MAKERSPONDSPOPULATION DENSITYPORTFOLIOPOWER GENERATIONPRECIPITATIONPRIVATE VEHICLEPUBLIC WORKSPUMPING STATIONSPUMPSRAIL LINESRAILROADRAINFALL DATARAINFALL DISTRIBUTIONRAINFALL INTENSITYRAINY SEASONRAPID TRANSITRAPID TRANSIT PROJECTRESERVOIRSRETURN PERIODRING ROADROADROADSROUTESSANITATIONSEA LEVEL RISESEASSHORELINESPRINGSTORM SURGESSTORM TRACKSSUBSIDENCESUBWAY SYSTEMSURFACE TEMPERATURESSUSTAINABILITY SCIENCETEMPERATURE INCREASESTEMPERATURESTHREAT OF CLIMATE CHANGETOLL PLAZATRAFFICTRANSIT AUTHORITYTRANSPORTTRANSPORTATION NETWORKTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMTRAVEL TIMESTROPICAL CYCLONESTROPICAL STORMSTUNNELSVEHICLE USAGEWATER TREATMENTWIND VELOCITYWorld Bank10.1596/3113
