Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2012

The Buriganga River cuts through Dhaka like an interstate. Commercial and public transportation create constant activity back and forth between the banks, and large ferries connect Dhaka (metro area population-over 22 million) with the other communities around the riverine delta at the apex of Bengal Bay.

East, west, and south of the city the Brahmaputra, the Ganges/Padma, the Mehna, and numerous smaller rivers like the Buriganga gradually merge as they drain the majority of the Himalayas into the bay.
