Padma River, Bangladesh

Padma River

Padma River principle channel of the more noteworthy Ganges (Ganga) River in Bangladesh. For around 90 miles (145 km) the Ganges River shapes the western limit in the middle of India and Bangladesh before it enters Bangladesh at the northern edge of the Kushtia locale as the upper fragment of the Padma River. The upper Padma streams southeastward to get the strong Jamuna River (the name of the Brahmaputra in Bangladesh) close Rajbari. The consolidated stream of those two waterways constitutes the lower fragment of the Padma, which keeps on streaming southeastward through focal Bangladesh to join the Meghna River close Chandpur and to discharge into the Bay of Bengal.

The Padma River is known for substantial bank disintegration, moving channels, and sandbars that constantly develop in its course. Its principle tributary is the Mahananda; its important distributary is the Madhumati (called the Garai in its upper course). The stream of the Padma is controlled regularly by the Farakka Barrage, found a couple of miles upstream in West Bengal, India. Various major urban focuses, including Rajshahi and Pabna, are situated along the Padma. The stream shapes an occupied conduit and is a rich wellspring of fish.
