Rivers of Bangladesh
River long water course that flows down a slope along a bed between banks. It originates from a 'source' and culminates to a sea or lake at its 'mouth'. Along its length it may be joined by smaller rivers called 'tributaries'. A river and its tributaries form a 'river system'. Land surfaces are never perfectly flat, and as a result the runoff water after precipitation tends to flow downward by the shortest and steepest course in depressions formed by the intersection of slopes. Runoff water of sufficient volume and velocity join to form a stream that, by the erosion of underlying earth and rock, becomes deep enough to be fed ground water or when it has as its source an ultimate water reservoir, for example, the ganges flowing from the Gangotri Glacier and the brahmaputra from the Manas Sarovar.

River bank erosion in bangladesh
This document discusses river bank erosion in Bangladesh. It notes that Bangladesh has over 250 rivers that are prone to bank erosion during monsoons due to high water flows. The primary causes of erosion are the flat landscape offering little resistance to water forces, rivers entering mature stages where they meander and change course frequently, and large sediment loads that cause flooding and erosion. Erosion negatively impacts communities through loss of land and housing, economic impacts from lost agriculture land, and health impacts. The document outlines measures to reduce erosion including hard structures, increasing flow areas, planting vegetation, and using wood pilings.
Physical and geographical features of bangladesh
Bangladesh is located in South Asia, surrounded by India and Myanmar. It has a total area of 147,570 square km, with a tropical monsoon climate consisting of hot summers, monsoon rains, and cool, dry winters. The climate and geography make Bangladesh prone to frequent flooding from monsoon rains and cyclones. Agriculture and fisheries are important economic sectors impacted by the climate and natural disasters.

ppt about indian rivers by harshan
Rivers play an important role in Indian life and culture, providing water for irrigation, transportation, power, and livelihoods. Most major Indian cities are located on river banks. India's river systems originate from three main watersheds - the Himalayas, Vindhya Range, and Western Ghats. The Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra are some of India's longest rivers. Rivers have supported ancient Indian civilizations and continue to be vital to society and the environment.
ppt on river ganga
The Ganga River originates from the Gangotri Glacier in the Himalayas and flows through northern India and Bangladesh before draining into the Bay of Bengal through its vast delta. It is over 2,500 km long and is considered sacred in Hinduism. The river is fed by melting snow and ice from the glaciers in the Himalayas and is joined by the Yamuna River along its course through the plains of northern India. It supports agriculture through irrigation and provides hydroelectric power but also faces significant pollution issues from human waste as it flows through densely populated areas.
Locational importance of bangladesh
The document provides an outline of a class on geo-data and location. It discusses different types of location including absolute and relative location. Absolute location uses coordinates like latitude and longitude while relative location describes position based on other locations.

River Bank Erosion, Risk Assessment and Communication planning fot communitti...
This document summarizes a presentation on river bank erosion in Bangladesh. It discusses how river bank erosion is a major ongoing disaster in Bangladesh that affects millions of people each year. Key points made include: (1) River bank erosion is caused by the dynamic nature of Bangladesh's many rivers and results in loss of land and displacement of communities; (2) Important risk factors like water flow and levels, sedimentation, and rainfall are assessed to understand erosion risks; (3) Communication plans are needed to raise awareness of risks and prepare communities for future erosion events. Management relies on both structural measures and policies to support vulnerable groups affected by erosion.
River Erosion In Bangladesh
River erosion is a major threat in Bangladesh, affecting about 1 million people annually and causing $500 million in economic losses. The country's major rivers, including the Brahmaputra and Jamuna, have shifted channels and eroded riverbanks at rates up to 784 meters per year. This has destroyed farmland, infrastructure, and communities. One family profiled lost their 20 acres of land and livelihood to erosion by the Brahmaputra river, forcing the father to become a day laborer. The government has implemented two projects to mitigate erosion impacts and help the millions of Bangladeshis suffering from land loss and poverty due to the country's shifting rivers.
Bangladesh Flooding
Bangladesh suffers from severe annual flooding due to its geography as a low-lying delta situated at the confluence of major rivers in Asia. The 1998 floods were especially devastating, submerging over 57% of the country and causing over 1000 deaths and widespread property damage. Both natural causes like heavy monsoon rains and human causes such as upstream dam building and deforestation exacerbate the flooding. Managing these floods remains a major challenge requiring solutions like improved flood forecasting, embankments, and preparedness through designated evacuation centers.
River Indus
The Indus River is one of the longest rivers in Asia at 3,180 km long. It originates in Tibet near Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar and flows through Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan before emptying into the Arabian Sea near Thatta, Sindh. Along its course it passes many other rivers that also eventually flow into the Indus and it is the longest and most important river for Pakistan.
Geography and Environmental Setting of Bangladesh
This document provides an outline for a class on geo-data and location. It discusses Bangladesh's absolute and relative location, including coordinates, borders, coastline and elevation details. Key points of locational importance are geophysical factors like climate and terrain, economic advantages such as fertile land and labor, and geopolitical significance due to strategic regional position. Hazards caused by Bangladesh's location are also listed, such as flooding from monsoon rains, earthquakes due to tectonic activity, and cyclones exacerbated by the Bay of Bengal.
Physiography of Bangladesh
Bangladesh has a diverse physiography that can be divided into 7 regions: 1) Hilly regions along the southeast and northeast border, reaching up to 1003 meters high. 2) Pleistocene uplands including the Barind and Madhupur tracts, elevated red clay deposits reaching up to 20 meters high. 3) The Tista Fan, an alluvial plain extending from the Himalayan foothills southward. 4) Flood plains covering 40% of the country at elevations of 3-5 meters above sea level. 5) The delta plain of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna rivers covering 32% of the country. 6) The Sylhet Depression, a
Physical features of india
India has several major physical features that define its geography. These include the Himalayan mountains in the north, the northern plains formed by major river systems below the mountains, the peninsular plateau that makes up most of central and southern India, the Indian desert in the northwest, and the coastal plains along the eastern and western shores. India is also home to the island groups of Lakshadweep off the western coast and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the bay of Bengal.
The brahmaputra river system
The Brahmaputra River rises in Tibet near the sources of the Indus and Satluj rivers. It flows eastward through Tibet parallel to the Himalayas before taking a sharp turn south into India at Namcha Barwa. In India, it is joined by several tributaries like the Dibang and Lohit rivers and is known as the Brahmaputra. It deposits large amounts of silt in its bed while flowing through Assam, causing flooding and shifting of its channel.
South Asia Physical
South Asia's physical landscape has been shaped by its geography. The Himalayan and Hindu Kush mountains form barriers to the north, while the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean surround it on three sides. The region is divided into three major regions - the northern mountains, northern plains, and Deccan plateau. The Himalayas and Hindu Kush mountains influence South Asia's climate and contain many of the region's major river systems like the Indus and Ganges.

The term river system refers to a ‘river along with its tributaries’.
Based on their source, the Indian River system is classified in to - Himalayan Rivers and Peninsular Rivers.
The Himalayan Rivers, as the name suggests originate from the Himalayas and flow through the Northern Plains.
The major Himalayan River systems are
The Indus River System,
The Ganga River System
The Yamuna River System
The Brahmaputra River System
Peninsular River System or Peninsular Drainage emerges mainly from the Western Ghats. Since the Western Ghats form a ‘water divide’, these rivers either flow eastwards into the Bay of Bengal or into the Arabian Sea towards the west. Peninsular Rivers are basically ‘rain fed’ rivers.
The major Peninsular River Systems are:
Mahanadi
Godavari
Krishna
Cauvery
Drain into Bay of Bengal as they flow eastwards on the plateau and make ‘deltas’ at their mouths; whereas Narmada
Tapti - the west flowing rivers fall into the Arabian Sea and make ‘estuaries’.
not originate in glaciers, but are rain fed rivers. These rivers reduce considerably or dry up during summers.

1) The major Himalayan rivers are the Indus, Ganga, and Brahmaputra rivers and their tributaries form large river systems across northern India.
2) The Indus originates in Tibet and flows through India via Jammu and Kashmir, joined by tributaries like the Zaskar and Shyok.
3) The Ganga is joined by major tributaries like the Yamuna, Ghaghara, and Gandak rivers. The Bhagirathi and Alaknanda form the Ganga at Devprayag.
Drainage geo class9
India's drainage systems are divided into two groups - the Himalayan rivers and the Peninsular rivers. The Himalayan rivers are perennial and flow from the Himalayas, while the Peninsular rivers are seasonal and originate in the Western Ghats. Some key Himalayan rivers are the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra, while major Peninsular rivers include the Godavari, Mahanadi, Krishna, and Kaveri. India also has many lakes that vary in size and origin, such as glacial lakes in the Himalayas and coastal lagoons. Rivers and lakes play an important economic and environmental role but are increasingly threatened by pollution.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
