Known as the "Land of Rivers," Bangladesh is essentially the largest river delta in the world, heavily defined by its waterways.
* **Major Rivers:** The country is interlaced by over 700 rivers. The "Big Three" are the **Padma** (main distributary of the Ganges), the **Jamuna** (Brahmaputra), and the **Meghna**. Their confluence forms the massive Ganges Delta. * **Lakes & Reservoirs:** **Kaptai Lake** in Rangamati is the largest man-made lake in Bangladesh, created by the Karnaphuli hydro-electric project, offering stunning scenic beauty. * **Waterfalls:** **Madhabkunda** and **Hum Hum** waterfalls in the Moulvibazar district, as well as **Nafakhum** in Bandarban, are major natural attractions. * **River Transport:** Ferries and multi-deck "launches" are a primary mode of transport in the southern region. The Sadarghat River Port in Dhaka is one of the busiest and most chaotic, yet fascinating, river ports in the world.
