Bangladesh-India joint water measurement of Padma and Ganges begins
The two neighboring countries India and Bangladesh have started monitoring the water level at various junctions along the Ganga and Padma River in this morning, according to the 1996 Ganga water sharing agreement.
The joint effort involves a two-member team from India, featuring Ankit Dudeja, executive engineer representing India's Central Water Commission, and Mukesh Kumar Sharma, assistant director of the commission.
Alongside them, Bangladeshi experts also began their activities by measuring the water levels 4,500 feet upstream of the formidable Padma, starting from the Hardinge Bridge point this morning, as confirmed by Md Rezaul Karim, executive engineer of the regional hydrology department in Pabna.
Simultaneously, a four-member team from Bangladesh, led by Md Riadur Rahman, executive engineer of the Joint River Commission, initiated the measurement of water flow at the Farrakah point in India along the Ganges, furthering the collaborative effort.
This joint endeavor signifies the ongoing commitment of both Bangladesh and India towards effectively managing and sharing crucial data concerning the flow of these significant rivers, essential for ensuring water resource management and mutual cooperation between the two neighboring nations.
