Shesh Pir (river)

The Shesh Pir is a river located in Bangladesh. It is a distributary of the Gorai River, which itself is a major distributary of the Ganges (Padma) River. The Shesh Pir flows through the southwestern part of Bangladesh, contributing to the complex network of waterways that characterize the Bengal Delta.

The river plays a significant role in the region's hydrology, influencing drainage patterns, and contributing to both irrigation and navigation. Like other rivers in Bangladesh, the Shesh Pir is subject to seasonal variations in water flow, with high flows during the monsoon season and lower flows during the dry season. This variation impacts agriculture, fishing, and the overall livelihood of communities living along its banks.

The river is also subject to challenges such as sedimentation, erosion, and salinity intrusion, particularly during the dry season when freshwater flow is reduced. These challenges can negatively impact water quality, agricultural productivity, and access to potable water for local populations. Efforts related to water resource management and riverbank stabilization are often implemented to mitigate these issues.
