Irrawaddy Delta

The Irrawaddy Delta is a fertile region in southwestern Myanmar where the Irrawaddy River fans out into many smaller channels before reaching the Bay of Bengal. This delta is characterized by wetlands, lush farmland, and numerous waterways, making it essential for agriculture and fishing. Its unique ecosystem supports diverse wildlife and local communities that depend on the river for transportation, livelihoods, and sustenance. The area is prone to flooding during monsoon season but remains vital for Myanmar’s economy and environment.
