Long ago, in the nineties, I read the books of Hugh Brammer (e.g. Can Bangladesh be saved from floods, book 5, answer in chapter 9), which provided me a solid background knowledge about Bangladesh. I first got introduced to him personally via all the emails that Hugh sent to Ad Spijker, about the Master Plan for the Southern Delta, where he expressed his concern about the reduced runoff, sedimentation, salinity intrusion etc. Our conversations intensified with frequent mails that we exchanged in the last 8 years, about longer term plans in Bangladesh, where he encouraged me to be realistic and consider more (im)possibilities with regard to the Bangladesh Delta Plan. With his overview and vast knowledge, he inspired me to think about the complexities, and he linked me to other people. I'm forever grateful for the knowledge he shared, and the motivation he provided.
