Rajbari, Joydepur The Rajbari site, just on the east of the main railway at Joydebpur, was used for multifactorial and varietal trials, plus other BRRI DWR studies. Flooding here is from local rainwater accumulation and not directly from one of the major rivers.
Peak flood at Rajbari - site - river full on 19 June but little water in the site; 22 June flood in fields; 28 June had reached road but still at that level on 3 August (ca 80 cm of water)	response to flood decline at Rajbari - kneeing of the DWR
End of flood at Rajbari - note the kneeing of the DWR
