What are the Physical causes of Bangladesh Floods? This is River Meghna. Bangladesh has three major rivers. The drainage basins of these rivers cover over 1.6 million square kilometers, which is 11 times larger than Bangladesh itself. Source: The floods are important to Bangladesh. The floods deposit silt on the farmland, and this helps to keep the rice crops fertile. Farmers depend on the floods to help their crops grow. Source:

What are the Human causes? There are many houses in Bangladesh, which means many people have houses. Houses are not good for flooding. Houses take up Bangladesh’s land space. Therefore water cannot sink into the ground as it’s supposed to.
