Other Turist Spot in Cox's Bazar

Radar Station:

Bangladesh is one of the most seriously damaged countries suffering natural disasters such as floods in the summer monsoon, cyclone and disturbances in pre- and post-monsoon seasons. Natural calamities could not be prevented, diverted or subdued. Timely forecast from Rader Station could minimize damages caused by them in terms of human lives and properties.

Rubber Dam:

Since Bangladesh has very little rainfall in the winter, the requirement of water for irrigation during the season is met from ground water sources and by conserving a part of the monsoon surface water. To do this, the Local Government Engineering Department in Bangladesh has introduced rubber dams, a cost effective technology that retains and conserves surface water in the river channel, reservoirs and lakes. It has constructed two pilot rubber dams in the Bakkhali River and Idagaon Khal in Cox's Bazar district that would supply irrigation water to 8,000 hectares for rice cultivation.
