List Of Rivers In Bangladesh
According to Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB), about 907 rivers currently flow in Bangladesh (during summer and winter), although the numbers stated in some sources are ambiguous. As stated by a publication called ''Bāṅlādēśēr Nôd-Nôdī'' ('Rivers of Bangladesh') by BWDB, 310 rivers flow in the summer although they republished another study in 6 volumes where stated 405 rivers. The number differs widely due to lack of research on the counts and the fact that these rivers change flow in time and season. According to ''Banglapedia'', 700 rivers flow in Bangladesh, but the information is old and obsolete. Although, historical sources state about 700 to 800 rivers, most of them have dried up or are extinct due to pollution and lack of attention. The numbers also differ because the same rivers may change names in different regions and through history. A total of 60 international rivers flow through Bangladesh, 54 from India and 3 from Myanmar. The number of intern ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
