Bengal Delta

about bengal delta

The verdant plains of Bengal have long been the source of livelihood and prosperity for its people. Crisscrossed by scores of rivers, these fertile deltas have been among the major granaries of the region. Awash with the silt brought down by the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna system, the Bengal deltas are both blessed and cursed because of the unique geographic location. These delicate deltas are said to be most susceptible to global warming.
