Map of Matuail
Historyedit
Matuail lies within the Dhaka-Narayanganj-Demra Irrigation Project (DND) area. The project, started in 1962 and completed in 1968,[1] was meant to transform the floodplain of three rivers: the Buriganga, Balu, and Shitalakshya, into an agricultural polder protected by embankments against flooding and drained or irrigated by a pumping station.[2]
Unplanned urbanization and industrialization took off within the DND in 1988 after the Dhaka–Chittagong Highway was completed.[1] By 2005, waterlogging had become a perennial problem there, caused by the lack of a sewage system, encroachment on drainage canals, and inadequate pumping facilities.[3]
Matuail became part of Dhaka South City Corporation in 2016 when Dhaka was expanded to include 16 largely rural union parishads mostly to the east.[4] This increased the pace of urban sprawl.[1] Over the years, numerous projects to address the area's chronic drainage problems have been announced, but as of 2023 they remain unresolved.[3][5][6]
