Kasmala (river)

The Kasmala is a river located in the Mymensingh District of Bangladesh. It is a tributary of the Brahmaputra River, joining it near Nandail Upazila. The Kasmala is known for its meandering course and seasonal flooding, which impacts agricultural lands adjacent to its banks. The river plays a significant role in the local ecosystem, providing water for irrigation, supporting fisheries, and serving as a transportation route for small vessels. Its water quality is affected by agricultural runoff and industrial discharge, posing environmental challenges for the region. Historical accounts suggest the river's course has shifted over time, influencing settlement patterns and land use in the surrounding areas.
