## Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta, Bangladesh

The confluence of two of the biggest rivers in the world is seen as the dark water of the Ganga (locally called Padma) from the west meeting the south-flowing sediment-laden water of the Brahmaputra (locally, the Jamuna). The monsoonal nature of the flow and sediment transfer is shown in the many braid bars, islands, and side bars. The red colour indicates patchy distribution of crops and vegetation in the dry season.
