Bengal River Delta
The Bengal River Delta is one of the largest river deltas in the world, formed by the confluence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers. Located primarily in Bangladesh and parts of India, it covers an area of about 105,000 square kilometers. The delta is characterized by its rich biodiversity, fertile soil, and numerous waterways, making it a vital region for agriculture and fishing.
This delta is also prone to natural disasters, such as floods and cyclones, due to its low-lying geography and proximity to the Bay of Bengal. The unique ecosystem supports various wildlife, including the endangered Bengal tiger. The region faces challenges from climate change, which threatens its environment and the livelihoods of millions of people living there.
