The Barind is a fairly raised three-sided wedge of land that lies between the floodplains of the

upper Padma and Jamuna waterways in northwestern Bangladesh. A downturn called the Bhar
Basin broadens southeast from the Barind for around 100 miles (160 km) to the conversion of the
Padma and Jamuna. This territory is immersed throughout the mid year rainstorm season, in
certain spots to a profundity surpassing 10 feet (3 meters). The seepage of the western piece of
the bowl is focused in the immense muddy zone called the Chalan wetlands, otherwise called
Chalan Lake. The floodplains of the Jamuna, which lie north of the Bhar Basin and east of the
Barind, stretch from the boundary with Assam in the north to the intersection of the Padma and
Jamuna in the south. The zone is overwhelmed by the Jamuna, which often floods its banks in
crushing floods. South of the Bhar Basin is the floodplain of the lower Padma.

In north-focal Bangladesh, east of the Jamuna floodplains, is the Madhupur Tract. It comprises
of a raised level on which hillocks going in range from 30 to 60 feet (9 to 18 meters) offer form
to developed valleys. The Madhupur Tract contains sal trees, whose hardwood is equivalent in
worth and utility to teak. East of the Madhupur Tract, in northeastern Bangladesh, is a district
called the Northeastern Lowland. It incorporates the southern and southwestern pieces of the
Sylhet region (counting the valley plain of the Surma River) and the northern piece of the
Mymensingh zone and has an enormous number of lakes. The Sylhet Hills in the furthest upper
east of the area comprise of various hillocks and slopes going in height from around 100 feet (30
meters) to in excess of 1,100 feet (330 meters).

In east-focal Bangladesh the Brahmaputra River in its old course (the Old Brahmaputra River)
developed the flood bowl of the Meghna River, the locale that incorporates the low and fruitful
Meghna-Sitalakhya Doab (the land region between those streams). This region is enhanced by
the Titas distributary, and land territories are shaped and changed by the testimony of residue and
sand in the riverbeds of the Meghna River, particularly between Bhairab Bazar and Daudkandi.
Dhaka is situated in this district.

In southern Bangladesh the Central Delta Basins remember the broad lakes for the focal piece of
the Bengal Delta, toward the south of the upper Padma. The bowl's all out zone is around 1,200
square miles (3,100 square km). The belt of land in southwestern Bangladesh lining the Bay of
Bengal establishes the Immature Delta. A swamp of approximately 3,000 square miles (7,800
square km), the belt contains, notwithstanding the immense mangrove timberland known as the
Sundarbans, the recovered and developed terrains toward the north of it. The territory closest the
Bay of Bengal is confounded by an organization of streams that stream around generally oval
islands. The Active Delta, found north of the Central Delta Basins and east of the Immature
Delta, incorporates the Dhaleswari-Padma Doab and the estuarine islands of differing sizes that
are found from the Pusur River in the southwest to the island of Sandwip close to Chittagong in
the southeast.
