padma meghna jamuna map：Meghna River | Map, Tributaries

Meghna River, major watercourse of the Padma River[1] (Ganges [Ganga] River[2]) delta[3], in Bangladesh[4]. The name is properly applied to a channel of the Old Brahmaputra downstream from Bhairab Bazar, after it has received the Surma[5] (Barak) River. Flowing almost due south, the Meghna receives the combined waters of the Padma[6] and Jamuna (the name of the Brahmaputra[7] in Bangladesh) rivers near Chandpur[8]. After a course of about 164 miles (264 km) it enters the Bay of Bengal[9] by four principal mouths—Tetulia, Shahbazpur, Hatia, and Bamni. Major tributaries are the Dhaleswari, the Gumti (the name of the Gomati[10] in Bangladesh), and the Feni. A river[11] of great depth and velocity, the Meghna is sometimes split up into several channels and sandbanks of its own formation. It is navigable, but dangerous, all year. At spring tide[12] the sea rushes upriver in a bore[13] that may reach nearly 20 feet (6 metres).
