Rivers of West Bengal

​Rivers created the land of Bengal, but today, they threaten its very existence. From the devastating floods of the Teesta to the silent land erosion in Malda, the rivers of West Bengal are telling a story of crisis. ​In this video, we explore the Geography of West Bengal's River Systems—not just as water bodies, but as powerful forces shaping the economy, politics, and future of the state. We analyze the "Dual Nature" of these rivers: how they act as both a blessing and a curse. ​ Key Topics Covered: ​The 4 River Systems: A complete map breakdown of North Bengal (Teesta/Brahmaputra), Central (Ganga), Western (Damodar), and Southern (Tidal) rivers. ​Teesta (The River of Horror): Originating from the Zemu Glacier at 6,400m, why is this river so volatile? ​The Farakka Barrage Dilemma: ​Why was it built? (To save Kolkata Port). ​The unplanned consequences: Floods in Bihar, siltation, and the creation of "Moribund Rivers" like Jalangi and Mathabhanga. ​The Human Cost: ​River Bank Erosion: The tragedy of Malda and Murshidabad. ​Neo-Refugees: How 1.5 lakh people lost their land and identity in just 30 years. ​The Sundarbans Crisis: ​Double Attack: Rising sea levels vs. reduced freshwater flow. ​Salinity Surge: How salt levels have increased 6-15 times, destroying agriculture and mangroves.
