Read excerpt
In the mid-1960s, a survey conducted by a Dutch company for the East Pakistan Inland Water Transport Authority found 12,000 kilometres of navigable waterways across what is now Bangladesh. Today, at the height of monsoon, only about 4,500 km of these waterways remain navigable, which shrinks to 2,500 km during dry seasons—a loss of more than 60 percent navigability over six decades or so. Several major inland routes, once busy with launches and cargo, have been officially abandoned by the Bangla
