Advantages and Disadvantages of Empoldering


Advantages:
# Its ensures security to crops and livestock
# Better conditions for new crops (boro rice and betel leaves)
# Improved all year round road network leading to access to markets, new avenues of employment such as transport and higher enrollment/attendance in schools for improved education for the people which would in turn affect the improvement of the economy and the education level of the citizens.

Disadvantages:
> Restricted water flow in the internal channels leading to stagnant water and breeding grounds for mosquitoes and mozzies. Thus, dengue fever would then occur and will lead to the increase of people seeking medical help. Till then, the hospitals and clinics would not have enough medical equipment.
> Dry season scarcity of water, particularly for domestic use, and pollution of the little water that is available.
>Loss of capture fisheries.
