This is the first-ever book in English about the the Munda peoples in Bangladesh, exploring their unique water resource management. ULAB-ISD Visiting Researcher Chiara Perucca carried out her work with the collaboration of Krishna Munda, Rehnuma Binte Razzaque from BARCIK and Boruna Munda over a period of one year.

The book is designed to be a tool for NGOs and aid agencies in helping them to design and execute programs that take into account the resources and knowledge of the Munda people in a way that will make them full partners in their own empowerment.
