Primary data have been collected through survey carried out during PCMs and RRA. Remote Sensing images have been processed and analyzed using GIS techniques. Secondary data have been obtained from National Water Resources Database (NWRD), Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) and published documents of different organizations.

The total population of the seven haor districts is 19.37 million (projected from BBS, 2001 census). The overall population density in the haor districts is 987 per sq km which is lower than the average national population density of 1142 per sq km. By the years 2020 and 2030 the population may increase to 21.38 million and 22.92 million respectively. The population growth rate per annum for the overall haor area is 1.09% which is lower than the national rate. It might decrease further from 1.09% to 0.63% by the year 2030, while the overall national growth rate might also decrease from 1.31% to 0.84% over the same period. Figure 5.1 shows the trend of population distribution by age groups for 2010, 2020 and 2030
