Water resources and environment Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan announced that the final list of rivers in Bangladesh will be published on Pahela Baisakh (the first day of Bangla New Year 1432).

She made the announcement at a conference titled ‘Rivers and Water Management’ organized by the Bangladesh Poribesh Andolon (BAPA) and Bangladesh Environment Network (BEN) at the TSC Auditorium of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University in Dhaka on Friday (January 17).

The water resources adviser said, “We have received a draft list of more than 1,100 rivers from the divisional commissioners. Further verification is underway. We will determine the boundaries of canals and rivers in 64 districts so that no one can encroach on canals and rivers in the future.”
