An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) technical cooperation expert mission began operations in Bangladesh on 19 April 2026 to assist in implementing the IAEA Water Availability Enhancement Approach (I-WAVE). The two-member team, comprising Dr. Melanie Vital of the IAEA and Professor Frederic Huneau of the University of Corsica Pascal Paoli, aims to strengthen Bangladesh’s national capacity for sustainable water resource management through isotope hydrology techniques. The mission is scheduled to conclude on 23 April 2026.
During the visit, the experts inspected the Isotope Hydrology Division (IHD) laboratory at the Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology in Savar and noted shortages in analytical facilities and manpower. They emphasized the need to enhance isotopic analysis capabilities through IAEA technical cooperation and government-funded projects. On 20 April, the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) hosted a national stakeholder workshop to promote understanding of isotope-based nuclear technology for water resource assessment and to identify priority areas for future collaboration.
Government and BAEC officials reaffirmed their commitment to integrating isotope hydrology with conventional methods to improve national water planning and to support the Sustainable Development Goals.
