Bengal Delta
The Bengal Delta is one of the largest river deltas in the world, formed by the confluence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers. It spans parts of India and Bangladesh, covering an area of about 100,000 square kilometers. This delta is characterized by its rich biodiversity, fertile soil, and extensive network of rivers and wetlands.
The delta is crucial for agriculture, supporting millions of people who rely on its resources for their livelihoods. It is also prone to natural disasters like floods and cyclones, which can significantly impact the local population and environment. The Sundarbans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located within this delta and is known for its unique mangrove forests and wildlife.
