What is the flood situation in Bangladesh?
0 views
Bangladesh experiences annual flooding during the monsoon season (June–September) due to heavy rainfall and upstream water from the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna river systems. Floods vary in intensity — normal floods replenish soil and fisheries, while extreme floods cause loss of life, crop damage, and displacement. The government operates flood forecasting and warning centers (FFWC). Flood embankments protect many areas, but breaches occur. Climate change is increasing flood severity. Flood shelters and emergency relief are coordinated by the Ministry of Disaster Management.
