Talk:Floods in Bangladesh

message: Could probably do with some citations, and some improvement needs to be made on the 'somewhat ammateur' description of the flood defences.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.44.68.212 (talk) 16:36, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Effects 

message: Bangladesh is a country that is located to the east of India. It is also at the base of the Himalayas. There are 2 main rivers flowing into Bangladesh and out the other side to the Bay of Bengal.  These two rivers are the River Ganges and the River Brahmaputra.
There are many reasons for Bangladesh being flooded. One is there is a lot of flat and dry land which is also easy to flood over. There is also deforestation which is leading to less evaporation which means more water falls down the hills. There are also the rivers where they can overflow and spill on the country. Bangladesh is very near to the sea which may also start to come into the land. Lots more water comes down from the mountains in the summer where the snow has melted to water. Another worrying fact is that if the sea level rises by half a meter then 15% of it will be submerged. As you can see there are lots of ways for this small country to go under water. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.30.142.251 (talk) 15:18, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  The basics 

message: The articles 1998 Bangladesh floods and 1999 Bangladesh floods are short, consisting largely of general discussion of floods, with little material that is specific to the events in those years. I propose that the two pages should be merge into this page to become sections with redirects to those sections from the original pages. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 21:22, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: "Each year in Bangladesh about 26,000 km2 (around 18% of the country) is flooded, killing over 5,000 people and destroying more than seven million homes."  
7 mill homes every year? Any sources for this?
