Matuail

Matuail is located in Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), Ward no.

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.

[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.

[1] Over the years, numerous projects to address the area's chronic drainage problems have been announced, but as of 2023 they remain unresolved.
