Some countries are famous for their mountains, deserts or forests, while others are known for their many rivers. These rivers plays a big role in the lives of people, providing water for farming, transportation and fishing. The land becomes fertile because of the flowing rivers, helping in crop growth. However, having many rivers also brings challenges, such as floods and erosion, affecting people’s lives.
Bangladesh is known as the “Country of Rivers” or “Land of Rivers” because hundreds of rivers flow through it. Nearly 700 rivers, including the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna, spread across the country. Together, they create the world’s largest river delta, which makes the soil very fertile for agriculture. These rivers are important for travel, fishing, irrigation and supporting the everyday lives of people.
Bangladesh is located in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta, which is filled with rivers and waterways. Here are some reasons, why Bangladesh earned the title of “Country of Rivers”:
Bangladesh is a country in South Asia, located next to India and Myanmar, with a coastline along the Bay of Bengal. It mostly has flat, alluvial plains formed by river deposits. The country has a tropical climate with heavy rainfall, which sometimes causes flooding. Farming is a major part of the economy, and rivers help in growing crops and transporting goods.
