The Bangali River

The Bangali river is one of the main river in the northern part of Bangladesh.It originates as a distributor of  the Teesta river in Nilphamari district.The length of this river is 148km,the  width is 50m and the depth is 7m.There are a number of distributaries of the Bangali river such as the Belal,the Manosh,the Modhukhali,the Ichamoti and the Volka etc.These tributaries often dry up in the Winter season.The river flows as Ghaghot river from its source to Gaibandha ,where it splits into two branches -one moves towards the West as the Ghaghot and empties into the Karatoya river at Sherpur ,Bogra district and the other section of the Bangali river flows to the south and subsequently breaks into two sectons in Bogra district .These two sections join the Jamuna  and  Karatoya river.Recently,with the gradual decrease in the flow of the Teesta river,the Jamuna river has become the main source of water for the Bangali river.
