Gangotri, the origin of the River Ganges is a town and a Nagar Panchayat (municipality) in Uttarkashi district in the state of Uttarakhand, India. It is a Hindu pilgrim town on the banks of the river Bhagirathi. It is on the Greater Himalayan Range, at a height of 3,100m.
The Ganges, is a trans-boundary river of India and Bangladesh. The 2,525 km (1,569 mi) river rises in the western Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain of North India into Bangladesh, where it empties into the Bay of Bengal. It is the longest river of India and is the second greatest river in the world by water discharge.[5] The Ganges basin is the most heavily populated river basin in the world, with over 400 million people and a population density of about 1,000 inhabitants per square mile (390 /km2). The Ganges is the most sacred river to Hindus and is also a lifeline to millions of Indians who live along its course and depend on it for their daily needs. It is worshiped as the goddess Ganga in Hinduism. It has also been important historically: many former provincial or imperial capitals have been located on its banks.
The Ganges begins at the confluence of the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers. The Bhagirathi is considered to be the true source in Hindu culture and mythology, although the Alaknanda is longer.The headwaters of the Alakananda are formed by snowmelt from such peaks as Nanda Devi, Trisul, and Kamet. The Bhagirathi rises at the foot of Gangotri Glacier, at Gaumukh, at an elevation of 3,892 m (12,769 ft).
Although many small streams comprise the headwaters of the Ganges, the six longest and their five confluences are considered sacred. The six headstreams are the Alaknanda, Dhauliganga, Nandakini, Pindar, Mandakini, and Bhagirathi rivers. The five confluences, known as the Panch Prayag, are all along the Alaknanda. They are, in downstream order, Vishnuprayag, where the Dhauliganga joins the Alaknanda; Nandprayag, where the Nandakini joins; Karnaprayag, where the Pindar joins, Rudraprayag, where the Mandakini joins; and finally, Devprayag, where the Bhagirathi joins the Alaknanda to form the Ganges River proper.
After entering Bangladesh, the main branch of the Ganges is known as the Padma. The Padma is joined by the Jamuna River, the largest distributary of the Brahmaputra. Further downstream, the Padma joins the Meghna River, the second largest distributary of the Brahmaputra, and takes on the Meghna's name as it enters the Meghna Estuary, which empties into the Bay of Bengal. The Ganges Delta, formed mainly by the large, sediment-laden flows of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers, is the world's largest delta, at about 59,000 km2 (23,000 sq mi).[4] It stretches 322 km (200 mi) along the Bay of Bengal. Only the Amazon and Congo rivers have a greater average discharge than the combined flow of the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and the Surma-Meghna river system.

The flowing rivers of our country are like the reflection of our lives and livelihood.
Along with large rivers like Ganges, Brahmaputra, Meghna and Jamuna, numerous other rivers are spread throughout this country.
For thousands of years the Bengali civilization, including politics, economics, social customs and cultural activities, has been built on the basis of these rivers.
Human civilization has been developed in the basin of these rivers; similarly each river is considered as the source of lives.
Due to these rivers and favorable weather this delta is rich with a large biodiversity.
The rivers have become kinetic reservoirs of millions of lives.
Though the hills are the place of origin of the major rivers, the rivers running through the northeastern and southeastern hilly areas of this country are considered as the Hilly Rivers.
Among the hilly rivers there are Karnafuli, Sangu, Naf, Kassalong, Myani and some other small rivers.
Narrow streams flow from numerous hillocks of Hill Tracts.
These streams become wider and deeper gradually and then mix with the rivers.
Emerged from the hills of Monipur of India the Barak River has entered into Bangladesh from the northeast and then divided into Surma and Kushiara rivers.
These two rivers then get mixed with the Meghna River.
The Karnafuli is the main river of the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
Karnafuli has emerged from the Lusai Hill of Mizoram, India and then entered into Bangladesh.
It then mixes with the Myani and the Kassalong rivers and falls into the Kaptai Lake.
Kaptai Lake is the largest artificial lake in Bangladesh.
The only hydropower station of the country is sited here.
Another hilly river Sangu has emerged from Arakan Hill of Myanmar and entered into Bangladesh through Thanchi of Bandarban.
Running by the hills Sangu has mixed with the Bay of Bengal.
Another hilly river Naf, sited by the Teknaf of Cox’s bazar district, is flowing through the border line of Bangladesh and Myanmar.
The evergreen forests of the Hill tracts in our country are rich with biodiversity.
This is because the rivers and canals flowing beside the hills are providing water supply throughout year.
As there is a rich floral diversity, various species of wildlife are also found in these areas.
These forests are the habitats of different species of amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
A number of rare and endangered species of wildlife of Bangladesh are found there.
In addition to this, migratory birds come to these rivers in the winter.
The hilly rivers are considered as a good source of fish also.
Most of the ethnic communities of this country are living beside the hilly rivers.
They have been living in these places from the ancient time by making bonding with hills and rivers.
These rivers are the part of their tradition, culture and daily life.
The water of streams and rivers is used for drinking and other household purposes.
For not having better communication system the rivers are the only way of communication.
Huge amount of natural resources like bamboos and woods are collected from the evergreen forests here and then transported through the river ways.
The ethnic communities produce various crops by Jhooming and then transport those crops to various places through the river ways.
These rivers are playing vital roles in keeping the environmental balance.
Besides, the hilly rivers are economically important also.
But these rivers are also affected by pollution like others.
These rivers are also affected due to use of pesticides in the nearby agricultural lands and tobacco cultivation in the hilly areas.
Besides, due to deforestation the water retention capacity of the soil is reducing.
As a result, some portions of the rivers become dry in the dry season.
So we all have to come forward, along with the government, to protect these rivers.
If a sustainable management system can be developed to collect the natural resources and appropriate use of the rivers can be ensured, the hilly rivers will be saved and a safe habitat will be ensured for the biodiversity.

Calling for united protest against India's plan to construct the Tipaimukh dam, an Indian parliament member yesterday said the dam would adversely affect both Bangladesh and India's Manipur, Assam and Mizoram states.
Addressing a rally at Sylhet Central Shaheed Minar, Dr Tarun Mandal, member of Lok Sabha (the lower house of parliament), said thousands of Manipur residents would be displaced once the dam on Barak river becomes operational.
Bangladesher Samajtantrik Dal organised the rally where its General Secretary Khalequzzaman and former member of the Assam Bidhan Sabha Zainal Abedin also spoke.
Speakers at the rally expressed concern on India's unilateral control of the Barak-Surma-Kushiyara though it is an international river.
They said the dam would greatly reduce the flow of Surma, Kushiyara and Meghna rivers during the dry season and trigger river erosion and flooding in the rainy season, rendering thousands of Sylhet residents homeless.

The Surma-Meghna River System is a river complex in South Asia, one of the three that form the Ganges Delta, the largest on earth.[citation needed] It rises in the Manipur Hills of northeast India as the Barak River and flows west becoming the Surma River and then flows south as the Meghna River, a total of 946 km (669 km within Bangladesh) to the Bay of Bengal.
From its source in the Manipur Hills of India, near Mao Songsang, the river is known as the Barak River. Near its source, the river receives a lot of little hill streams, including the Gumti, Howrah, Kagni, Senai Buri, Hari Mangal, Kakrai, Kurulia, Balujhuri, Shonaichhari and Durduria. It flows west through Manipur State, then southwest leaving Manipur and entering Mizoram State.
In Mizoram State the Barak flows southwest then veers abruptly north when joined by a north flowing stream and flows into Assam State where it turns westward again near Lakhipur as it enters the plains. It then flows west past the town of Silchar where it is joined by the Madhura River. After Silchar, it flows for about 30-odd kilometres & near Badarpur, it divides itself into the Surma River and the Kushiyara River and enters Bangladesh. The principal tributaries of the Barak in India are the Jiri, the Dhaleshwari (Tlawng), the Singla, the Longai, the Madhura, the Sonai (Tuirial), the Rukni and the Katakhal.

Nature and Life - Episode 206 (Hilly Rivers)
The flowing rivers of our country are like the reflection of our lives and livelihood. Along with large rivers like Ganges, Brahmaputra, Meghna and Jamuna, numerous other rivers are spread throughout this country. For thousands of years the Bengali civilization, including politics, economics, social customs and cultural activities, has been built on the basis of these rivers. Human civilization has been developed in the basin of these rivers; similarly each river is considered as the source of lives. Due to these rivers and favorable weather this delta is rich with a large biodiversity. The rivers have become kinetic reservoirs of millions of lives. Though the hills are the place of origin of the major rivers, the rivers running through the northeastern and southeastern hilly areas of thi... -
Tipaimukh Dam: Indian lawmaker supports concerns
http://www.shahriar.info (শাহরিয়ারের স্বপ্নবিলাস) March 20, 2012 Calling for united protest against India's plan to construct the Tipaimukh dam, an Indian parliament member yesterday said the dam would adversely affect both Bangladesh and India's Manipur, Assam and Mizoram states. Addressing a rally at Sylhet Central Shaheed Minar, Dr Tarun Mandal, member of Lok Sabha (the lower house of parliament), said thousands of Manipur residents would be displaced once the dam on Barak river becomes operational. Bangladesher Samajtantrik Dal organised the rally where its General Secretary Khalequzzaman and former member of the Assam Bidhan Sabha Zainal Abedin also spoke. Speakers at the rally expressed concern on India's unilateral control of the Barak-Surma-Kushiyara though it is an internationa... -

River in Bangladesh/List of rivers/Rivers of Bangladesh/Major rivers/বাংলাদেশ এর নদ নদী
Bangladesh is a riverine country. About 700 rivers including tributaries flow through the country constituting a waterway of total length around 24,140 kilometres (15,000 mi).[1] Most of the country's land is formed through silt brought by the rivers. Following is a list of some of the major rivers of Bangladesh: Evening of Burigonga River, Dhaka, Bangladesh Atrai River Balu River Bangali River Bangshi River Baral River Bhairab River Biskhali River Brahmaputra River (see section below) Bura Gauranga River Buriganga River Chiknai River Chitra River Dakatia River Dhaleshwari River Dhansiri River Dhanu River Dharla River Dhepa River Feni River Ganges River (see section below) Garai River Gomti River Gorai-Madhumati River Halda River Ichhamati River Jaldhaka River Jamuna River Jinai River Ka... -

Gangotri, the origin of the River Ganges is a town and a Nagar Panchayat (municipality) in Uttarkashi district in the state of Uttarakhand, India. It is a Hindu pilgrim town on the banks of the river Bhagirathi. It is on the Greater Himalayan Range, at a height of 3,100m.
The Ganges, is a trans-boundary river of India and Bangladesh. The 2,525 km (1,569 mi) river rises in the western Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain of North India into Bangladesh, where it empties into the Bay of Bengal. It is the longest river of India and is the second greatest river in the world by water discharge.[5] The Ganges basin is the most heavily populated river basin in the world, with over 400 million people and a population density of about 1,000 inhabitants per square mile (390 /km2). The Ganges is the most sacred river to Hindus and is also a lifeline to millions of Indians who live along its course and depend on it for their daily needs. It is worshiped as the goddess Ganga in Hinduism. It has also been important historically: many former provincial or imperial capitals have been located on its banks.
The Ganges begins at the confluence of the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers. The Bhagirathi is considered to be the true source in Hindu culture and mythology, although the Alaknanda is longer.The headwaters of the Alakananda are formed by snowmelt from such peaks as Nanda Devi, Trisul, and Kamet. The Bhagirathi rises at the foot of Gangotri Glacier, at Gaumukh, at an elevation of 3,892 m (12,769 ft).
Although many small streams comprise the headwaters of the Ganges, the six longest and their five confluences are considered sacred. The six headstreams are the Alaknanda, Dhauliganga, Nandakini, Pindar, Mandakini, and Bhagirathi rivers. The five confluences, known as the Panch Prayag, are all along the Alaknanda. They are, in downstream order, Vishnuprayag, where the Dhauliganga joins the Alaknanda; Nandprayag, where the Nandakini joins; Karnaprayag, where the Pindar joins, Rudraprayag, where the Mandakini joins; and finally, Devprayag, where the Bhagirathi joins the Alaknanda to form the Ganges River proper.
After entering Bangladesh, the main branch of the Ganges is known as the Padma. The Padma is joined by the Jamuna River, the largest distributary of the Brahmaputra. Further downstream, the Padma joins the Meghna River, the second largest distributary of the Brahmaputra, and takes on the Meghna's name as it enters the Meghna Estuary, which empties into the Bay of Bengal. The Ganges Delta, formed mainly by the large, sediment-laden flows of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers, is the world's largest delta, at about 59,000 km2 (23,000 sq mi).[4] It stretches 322 km (200 mi) along the Bay of Bengal. Only the Amazon and Congo rivers have a greater average discharge than the combined flow of the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, and the Surma-Meghna river system.

The flowing rivers of our country are like the reflection of our lives and livelihood.
Along with large rivers like Ganges, Brahmaputra, Meghna and Jamuna, numerous other rivers are spread throughout this country.
For thousands of years the Bengali civilization, including politics, economics, social customs and cultural activities, has been built on the basis of these rivers.
Human civilization has been developed in the basin of these rivers; similarly each river is considered as the source of lives.
Due to these rivers and favorable weather this delta is rich with a large biodiversity.
The rivers have become kinetic reservoirs of millions of lives.
Though the hills are the place of origin of the major rivers, the rivers running through the northeastern and southeastern hilly areas of this country are considered as the Hilly Rivers.
Among the hilly rivers there are Karnafuli, Sangu, Naf, Kassalong, Myani and some other small rivers.
Narrow streams flow from numerous hillocks of Hill Tracts.
These streams become wider and deeper gradually and then mix with the rivers.
Emerged from the hills of Monipur of India the Barak River has entered into Bangladesh from the northeast and then divided into Surma and Kushiara rivers.
These two rivers then get mixed with the Meghna River.
The Karnafuli is the main river of the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
Karnafuli has emerged from the Lusai Hill of Mizoram, India and then entered into Bangladesh.
It then mixes with the Myani and the Kassalong rivers and falls into the Kaptai Lake.
Kaptai Lake is the largest artificial lake in Bangladesh.
The only hydropower station of the country is sited here.
Another hilly river Sangu has emerged from Arakan Hill of Myanmar and entered into Bangladesh through Thanchi of Bandarban.
Running by the hills Sangu has mixed with the Bay of Bengal.
Another hilly river Naf, sited by the Teknaf of Cox’s bazar district, is flowing through the border line of Bangladesh and Myanmar.
The evergreen forests of the Hill tracts in our country are rich with biodiversity.
This is because the rivers and canals flowing beside the hills are providing water supply throughout year.
As there is a rich floral diversity, various species of wildlife are also found in these areas.
These forests are the habitats of different species of amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
A number of rare and endangered species of wildlife of Bangladesh are found there.
In addition to this, migratory birds come to these rivers in the winter.
The hilly rivers are considered as a good source of fish also.
Most of the ethnic communities of this country are living beside the hilly rivers.
They have been living in these places from the ancient time by making bonding with hills and rivers.
These rivers are the part of their tradition, culture and daily life.
The water of streams and rivers is used for drinking and other household purposes.
For not having better communication system the rivers are the only way of communication.
Huge amount of natural resources like bamboos and woods are collected from the evergreen forests here and then transported through the river ways.
The ethnic communities produce various crops by Jhooming and then transport those crops to various places through the river ways.
These rivers are playing vital roles in keeping the environmental balance.
Besides, the hilly rivers are economically important also.
But these rivers are also affected by pollution like others.
These rivers are also affected due to use of pesticides in the nearby agricultural lands and tobacco cultivation in the hilly areas.
Besides, due to deforestation the water retention capacity of the soil is reducing.
As a result, some portions of the rivers become dry in the dry season.
So we all have to come forward, along with the government, to protect these rivers.
If a sustainable management system can be developed to collect the natural resources and appropriate use of the rivers can be ensured, the hilly rivers will be saved and a safe habitat will be ensured for the biodiversity.

Besides, due to deforestation the water retention capacity of the soil is reducing.
As a result, some portions of the rivers become dry in the dry season.
So we all have to come forward, along with the government, to protect these rivers.
If a sustainable management system can be developed to collect the natural resources and appropriate use of the rivers can be ensured, the hilly rivers will be saved and a safe habitat will be ensured for the biodiversity.

Calling for united protest against India's plan to construct the Tipaimukh dam, an Indian parliament member yesterday said the dam would adversely affect both Bangladesh and India's Manipur, Assam and Mizoram states.
Addressing a rally at Sylhet Central Shaheed Minar, Dr Tarun Mandal, member of Lok Sabha (the lower house of parliament), said thousands of Manipur residents would be displaced once the dam on Barak river becomes operational.
Bangladesher Samajtantrik Dal organised the rally where its General Secretary Khalequzzaman and former member of the Assam Bidhan Sabha Zainal Abedin also spoke.
Speakers at the rally expressed concern on India's unilateral control of the Barak-Surma-Kushiyara though it is an international river.
They said the dam would greatly reduce the flow of Surma, Kushiyara and Meghna rivers during the dry season and trigger river erosion and flooding in the rainy season, rendering thousands of Sylhet residents homeless.
