Why did Bangladesh flood?

Answer 1

The cause of why Bangladesh flooded is that through Bangladesh flows a lot of rivers like Atrai River, Feni River and Titas River which flow from the Himalayas. There is also lots of snow piling up on top of the Himalayas but thanks to global warming the snow is melting and flooding down into the cities. In the last summer there was much rain and tropical cyclones. Because Bangladesh is 80% flat, with rising sea levels it floods up to the cities on the bay, ruining the crops.

Answer 2

Bangladesh gets floods for many reason-70% is only 1metre above sea level-80% flood plains-deforestation-little money to spend on flood prootection/defensive methods-two major rivers run thruogh it-increasing popuation-heavy intense monsoonand loads more

Answer 3

Well for a start the vast majority of Bangladesh is on a flood plain, and so is prone to flooding anyway. The population of Bangladesh is huge and most of the people are very poor- where are you suggesting they move to, and how would they find the money? Not only this, but their livelihoods are there; the poor fishermen have no other job than to work at sea, and so must live nearby, and the floods fertilise the soil by depositing river sediment and so it's good for farming.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Because the flood fertilises the soil by depositing river sediment which makes it ideal conditions for farming.

Answer 6

because there's heavy rainfall and that Bangladesh is surrounded by rivers allowing the water to cause a flood.

Answer 7

There are so many floods in Bangladesh because it is in the flood zone. Bangladesh is at a very low elevation.

Answer 8

Coz sum people dont have enough money to travel,some people are settled in those places

Answer 9

It's because India put a barrage on Ganges (Farakka Barrage) and during rainy seasons they open that barrage, and extra water over flows Bangladesh.
