Ganges Delta

The Ganges Delta is a vast, fertile area formed where the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers meet the Bay of Bengal. It is considered the world's largest delta, made up of rich sediments deposited over thousands of years, creating a network of wetlands, forests, and farmland. This delta supports a diverse array of wildlife and is densely populated, providing vital resources and livelihood opportunities to millions. Its intricate waterways and fertile land make it crucial for agriculture, fishing, and transportation, but it is also vulnerable to flooding, storms, and rising sea levels.
