  • Most of these rivers are heavily silted and dry up in the lean season, mainly because water is diverted upstream; parts of some have vanished under encroachment.

Where this river is

The study names this river, but more than one river in Bangladesh carries the name.

Three rows: #1106 Manas, Bogura-Sirajganj; #1107 Manas, Gaibandha (fed by the Lenga, flows into the Ghaghat; both also on the RDRC list); #1108 Manas, Rangpur (flows into the Teesta).

  • Because the study does not say which one it means, this river is listed but not placed on the map.

On the official list

From the government's list of 1,415 rivers (Ministry of Water Resources, 14 April 2025). 2 rows on the official list carry this name in the districts this river crosses; the line on the map may join more than one of them.
