This Is Why Bangladesh Is Called A Riverine Country

To be honest, this is actually an photography article but I am gonna make it a little informative. May be by this way I can attact the bot to atleast give me someting on this one😂😂🤣🤣😂😂. So bangladesh is gifted and blessed with lots of rivers and that's why it is called the land of rivers. Actually not only one rivers, the canals and ponds, small and large wetland, haur all makes her land of rivers. There are 300 rivers cris-crossing the whole country. Interesting fact is that, the outflow of the water system of Bangladesh is 3rd highest in this world, next to the Amazan and Congo system. According to the latest information, the land area of Bangladesh is only 1,48,460 km square. Yes, our country is very small. But 1around 18000 square km is covered my the wetland. Here is the map of bangladesh and the blue lines are the major rivers and canals.

So you can see, how much dense the system is. Not to mentions small wetlands are missing here. The Padma, Meghna, Jamuna, Karnafuli, Bharammaputra are the 5 major rivers of bangladesh. Here are some photos of the Padma taken by me😉😉

Interesting fact is that, when I was returning from my journey, I then thought of this as the wterlands are so dense that you will see them on 80% of your 6 hours journey.

The Padma occurs on the route and we have to cross the river by ferry.

Rivers are both blessing and curse for bangladesh actually. Lets focus the positive side only😓😓. The whole country is criscrossd by the water system which makes transportantion system easier. When you construct a road., it costs a lot but rivers need less work when you transport materials by big boats nd trallers

These trallars are used to move sands, stones and etc etc. Many industrial materials and other heavy stuffs. If I had the picture taken from the Gabtoli bridge, I explain better. Many industres are built at riverside to that the materials could be directly passed to the industries.

The rivers are also blessing for us as if provide us with fish and water plants. Many people catch fish and make their daily. They set up nets to catch fish. I don't know if you have seen this kind of set up before but it's common in bangladesh. Besides rods and throwing nets, Our people also use this kind of set up to cash fish.

I was lucky to get some photos from the running bus. So in rainy season, some wetlands are produced and luckily the get connected with the rivers someow and ehen there is flow, silt come to some lands and make the soil fertile and that's why the farmers fnd it easy to grow crops. And now there are many Genetically modifer crops that can also tolerate water and doesn't get rotten, but they can get morture from the silt. So another blessing for Bangladesh as well.

And the most common here. People here also use the ponds to take baths and also collect water and then boil and filtrate it. It's common in the village side of my country. Also some aqutic plants grown on the side of waterlands are eaten as food in bangladesh.

So that's it folks. I have uploaded half of the photos that I took on my journey. 80% time there is waterland beside the road. So it was easy for me to click. Not that easy too from a running bus😢😢. Anyways, the system have changed, so I didn't upload any photo article but I wanted to upload it. Creating this article was bit hard as I wasted to make it informative with my photos. So had to thought a lot how to describe all the situations. I actually don't think this gonna earn me some but I am pretty satisfied with this article. The is the best I can to put some information and also upload the photos at the same time😂😂😂. Anyways, thanks for your attention and best of luck.
