Background: The aim of this paper is to discuss and suggest ways to overcome the barriers hindering the Haor region's development of Bangladesh, including the steps the government has taken and is taking for a better future. The paper also examines the problems of a specific sector in the Haor regions and describes the different strategies that have taken by different organizations (Government and Non-government). The paper provides a deep insight that the Haor is being degraded rapidly due to the inefficiency of government policies, systems, mismanagement and destructive activities. But the government should formulate appropriate policies and laws to implement these for the protection of the valuable resources and adapt an integrated joint management plan involving the local people. The paper also presents some table including the importance and future development of Haor regions. Conclusion: An integrated management plan and proper strategies are needed that include the utilization of wood and non-wood products, agriculture, fisheries and conservation of biodiversity for future development of Haor regions in Bangladesh.

To discuss and suggest ways to overcome the barriers hindering the Haor region's development of Bangladesh, including the steps the government has taken and is taking for a better future.

There are many Haors are like Hakaluki Haor, Tanguar Haor, Gurmar Haor, Hail Haor, Kawadighi Haor, Balai Haor, Bara Haor, Maijeil Haor, Dekher Haor, Panger Haor, Kanamaiya Haor etc are the prominent Haors in Bangladesh (Aziz, Hasan, Mondol, Alam, & Haque, 2021). Despite being one of the country's main economic development areas, the Haor region is still underdeveloped due to its physical and hydrological characteristics. Agriculture and fishing are the principal sources of the region's diverse economic wealth. The Haor regions' gas and mineral deposits, biodiversity and wetland, livestock, tourism, and other economic activities are all significant to Bangladesh(Khan & Haque, 2010). This region has a higher proportion of gas and mineral resources than the rest of the world. The Haor districts generate approximately 90% of the country's overall gas output. The Surma Basin (SB), a depressed part of the Bengal Basin, covers the majority of the region. The Haor zone's geomorphology is made up of the Surma Kushiyara floodplain and the Meghna River Floodplain. Haor wetlands have a diverse ecology. Hakaluki Haor, Tanguar Haor, Hail Haor, Matian Haor, Pasuar Beel Haor, Dekar Haor, Baro Haor, Gurmar Haor, Sonamorol Haor, Baram Haor, Kalni Haor, Kawadighi Haor, and Pagner Haor are the most significant wetlands. Rots, rodents, humans, and amphibians make up a large wildlife population in these wetlands. Wetland plants are also enhanced in most of the essential Haor areas due to lowland plantations. The seven Haor districts comprise a cumulative region of about 1.99 million hectares, with a net planted area of about 1.31 million hectares. Bangladesh has a combined rice field of 11.35 million hectares, with the Haor zone responsible for 15.3 percent (1.74 million hectares)(Muzaffar, 2004; Oakkas, Islam, Jalil, Al-Agad, & Islam, 2015). The Haor area generates 5.25 million metric tonnes of rice, accounting for 16.5 percent of Bangladesh's overall rice production. Rice crops occupy approximately 90.2 percent of the total crop area. Non-rice harvested land accounts for around 9.8% of overall cropped land. The other main cereal crops, wheat and maize, account for around 0.7 percent of the total cropped region. Potatoes, like sweet potatoes, account for 1.2 percent of all cropped ground. Non-rice crops (pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, and so on) account for 6.7 percent of total cropped land. Jute is a large cash crop, accounting for around 1% of total cultivated land. Sugarcane often occupies a limited portion of the property. Tea is the most important agricultural crop, accounting for around 3.7 percent of the NCA, while fruits account for 0.42 percent(Poffenberger, 2000). We will see from the table below that agriculture in the Haor regions plays an important role in the growth of our economy. The Haor area is home to a large number of fin fish, including 143 indigenous and 12 endemic species, as well as many freshwater prawn species. Large fish (major carp, large catfish, chital, Gangetic stingray, gazar, and shol) and small fish (chital, Gangetic stingray, gazar, and shol) are classified into two groups. The Haor region's total fish habitat area is about 967,000 ha. The fish ecosystems contain a total of 4.32 lakh tonnes of fish, with catch fishing accounting for 73.7 percent and culture fishing accounting for the remainder. Sunamganj accounts for about 23.4 percent of overall fish output in the Haor districts, led by Netrakona (16.9%), Kishoreganj (16.2%), Sylhet (14.8%), Brahmanbaria (12.7%), Habiganj (8.1%), and Maulvibazar (8.1%). (7.9 percent) (Poffenberger, 2000 #885; Resources, 2005 #873). In the Haor region, culture fish ponds generate around 1.14 lakh tonne, or 26.3 percent of total output. The Haor basin generates approximately 20% of Bangladesh's total inland fish output, and this sector is important to the country's overall economy (Resources, 2005 #873). Bangladesh's fisheries industry accounts for about 22.2 percent of the country's agriculture GDP (DoF, 2011). Overall, the fisheries business contributes 3.74 percent of GDP, 2.7 percent of foreign exchange profits, and 58 percent of animal protein consumption (DoF, 2011). (DoF, 2011). The Haor basin contributes about 0.6 percent of the fisheries allocation to GDP, whilst the rest of the world contributes 3.14 percent. During the 2009-10 fiscal year, the Haor basin shipped 452 tonnes of cod (DoF,2011). Livestock is an important part of Bangladesh's agricultural economy, serving a variety of purposes including food security, revenue, draught strength, manure, diesel, transportation, and foreign exchange savings. Animal protein comes from livestock products with around 44% of overall animal protein. Cattle, buffaloes, goats, sheep, chickens, and ducks are the most popular livestock in the Haor area. In the Haor farms, there are about 32.68 million head of livestock (cattle, goats, sheep, ducks, and poultry). They account for roughly 22% of the total cattle population in the world. Ducks and poultry are the most common livestock species here, with the Haor area accounting for more than a quarter of the country's total duck population.

As we can see from the debate above, the Haor framework offers a broad variety of economic benefits to both locals and Bangladeshis. Benefits involve fish processing, rice production, cow and buffalo rearing, duck rearing, reed and grass collection, and aquatic and other plant collection. The Haor system also prevents the lower floodplains from flash flooding that occur in April and May, recharges the water levels, holds fish in other lower riparian water bodies fed, and offers shelter for migratory and local water flow. This research emphasizes the fact that Haor is a significant source of natural resources, offering strong economic and livelihood values to the surrounding community and the country as a whole. Bangladesh's population is rising at a faster pace than natural capital, but natural resources are not growing at the same rate. Poverty has a major effect on the climate, and it is approaching a crucial point in the study field, influencing local residents to begin depleting natural capital. For the future growth of Bangladesh's Haor regions, an integrated management plan and effective strategies are needed, which involve the usage of wood and non-wood goods, agriculture, fisheries, and biodiversity protection.
