Introduction: A river is a flow of water. It rises from a hill and falls into a sea. Bangladesh is a land of rivers. Her rivers rise from the Himalayas and fall into the Bay of Bengal. They are full in the rainy season and they are almost dry in summer.
Classes of rivers: There are two kinds of rivers in Bangladesh. They are the big and the small. Our big rivers are the Padma, the Meghna, the Jamuna and the Brahmaputra. The Buriganga, the Madhumati, the Gomuti, the Karnafuli etc. are the small rivers of Bangladesh.
The source of power: The Rivers are our natural wealth. They help us in many ways. Some our rivers are the source of energy. They have strong current. They are used to produce electricity.
The source of fish: Fish is our main item of food after rice. The fishermen of our country catch fish from the rivers. We get sufficient fish from the rivers.
Irrigation of facility: The rivers are the heart of our agriculture. They can easily be used for the irrigation of our lands.
The source of the soil silt: Our rivers carry the silt with their water. This silt increases the fertility of our lands.
The field of communication: Our rivers are the main way of communication. Steamers, launches and boats ply through them all the year round and carry passengers and goods.
The source of beauty: The Rivers of Bangladesh are the source of beauty. Their beauty is a great relief to the troubled hearts. They also have made Bangladesh rice, beautiful and happy. Our life is influenced by them in many ways.
The nature of our rivers: Our rivers are usually calm in the morning and in winter. But they look violent and fearful in summer and autumn.
Demerits: Our rivers are a great source of health, wealth and joy. But they often destroy our economy through floods. As a result fields and roads go under water. So people cannot go here and there on foot. Thus the rivers bring us sufferings.
Conclusion: Our economy mainly depends on the rivers. Without rivers Bangladesh cannot develop. They are the blessings of Allah for our country. They are the life of this country. They also are the source of our prosperity and progress. So we should properly use them.
