Rivers and Lakes of Bangladesh

Rivers are the most important geographical features in Bangladesh, and it is the rivers that created the vast alluvial delta. It's been known that the out flow of water from Bangladesh is the third highest in the world, after the Amazon and the Congo systems. The Padma, Jamuna and the lower Meghna are the widest rivers, with the latter expanding to around eight kilometers across in the wet season, and even more during the floods.Some rivers are known by different names in various portions of their course. The Ganges (Ganga), for example, is known as the Padma below the point where it is joined by the Jamuna River, the name given to the lowermost portion of the main channel of the Brahmaputra. The combined stream is then called the Meghna below its confluence with a much smaller tributary of the same name. In the dry season the numerous deltaic distributaries that lace the terrain may be several kilometers wide as they near the Bay of Bengal, whereas at the height of the summer monsoon season they coalesce into an extremely broad expanse of silt-laden water. In much of the delta, therefore, homes must be constructed on earthen platforms or embankments high enough to remain above the level of all but the highest floods. In non-monsoon months the exposed ground is pocked with water-filled borrow pits, or tanks, from which the mud for the embankments was excavated. Throughout the country there are bils, haors and lakes that meet the need of drinking, bathing and irrigating water

Sunset at Cox’s Bazar, the largest sea beach of the world. (about 120 KM)

Cox's Bazar District is a district in the Chittagong Division of Bangladesh. It is named after Cox's Bazar, which is one of the world's longest natural sea beaches (120 km) including mud flats. It is located 150 km south of Chittagong. Cox’s Bazar is also known by the name “Panowa”, the literal translation of which means “yellow flower”. Its other old name was “Palongkee”. The modern Cox's Bazar derives its name from Captain Cox (died 1798), an army officer serving in British India. It is also one of the fishing ports of Bangladesh. Often termed as the "World's longest beach", Cox's Bazar is yet to become a major tourist destination in Asia allegedly due to lack of publicity. Cox’s Bazar, mostly famous for its beautiful sea beach and the sunset, has several other attractions, including:

The causes of high rate of population growth.

The causes of high rate of population growth in Bangladesh are as follows-

i) Ignorance : Most of the people of our country are ignorant. They do not know about the problem of over population. So they do not take the measures to control the birth rate through family planning.

ii) Superstitions : Some rural and religious superstitions obstruct our people in family planning or birth control. For this reason, they do not be eager of family planning.

iii) Early marriage : Most of the boys and girls of our country get married before they become matured. This early marriage is a special cause of high rate of population growth.

iv) Lack of female education : Women constitute one half of the population of our country. But they are not educated. For this, the country cannot make them productive and they are becoming the problem of the country.
