Virtual Bangladesh : Sights: Rivers and Boats

Bangladesh is a riverine country. Rivers abound and much of her people gain their livelihood from the rivers. The typical Bangladesh sailboats that ply the rivers are a thing of beauty. The rivers Ganges (Padma), Meghna, and Jamuna (Brahmaputra) all wend their way into the Bay of Bengal through Bangladesh. While these rivers often bring devastating floods, these same floods replenish the soil and make possible the livelihood of her farmers.
