Flood in Bangladesh
Introduction: Bangladesh is a low lying land (বাংলাদেশ একটি নিচু ভূমি). During the rainy season the rivers of Bangladesh become full to the brim (কানায় কানায় পূর্ণ). Sometimes it rains cats and dogs (মুষলধারে) and water flows (প্রবাহিত হয়) above the danger level (সীমা). It causes flood. Flood is a sudden increase (বৃদ্ধি) of water. Every year it causes great damage (ক্ষতি) to men and property (সম্পত্তি). It is most dangerous calamity (দূর্যোগ) in Bangladesh.
What flood is flood: Due to excessive (অতিরিক্ত) rainfall (বৃষ্টিপাত) or any other cause when rivers and canals overflow (উপচে পড়া/ প্লাবিত হওয়া) their banks (তীর) and makes a huge (বিশাল) loss to crop and property, then it is called flood.
Causes of flood: We generally think that the flood is a curse (অভিশাপ) of Allah. But it is mainly (প্রধানত) caused by heavy rainfall (বৃষ্টিপাত). The causes of flood are many. It is also caused by cyclones (ঘূর্ণিঝড়), tidal bores (জোয়ার ভাটা). Sometimes it also caused by melting (গলা) of snows (বরফ) on mountains (পর্ব)ত. During rainy season it rains heavily (ভারীভাবে). Thus, (এভাবে) the water of the rivers rises high. The water overflows the bank of the rivers. It also overflows the canal and roads. This unusual (অস্বাভাবিক) rises of water is called the flood.
Flood in Bangladesh: Bangladesh is a reverie (নদীমাতৃক) country. Flood visit our country almost (প্রায়ই) every year. Floods that happened in the year of 1954, 1960, 1968, 1970, 1974, 1987, 1988, 1991, 1998 and 2004 were terrible. These floods caused much damage to properties, houses, trees and standing crops.
Flood of 1998: The flood of 1988 was dangerous. The century’s worst (সবচেয়ে খারাপ) and dangerous flood occurred (ঘটেছিল) in 1998. It lasted (স্থায়ী হয়েছিল) for more than two months. The havoc (সর্বনাশ) was so great that it took a long time to repair the loss. The whole country was flooded and standing crops were damaged. But the people faced this calamity with patience (ধৈর্য) and courage (সাহস).
Effect of flood: Flood causes heavy damage to our life and properties. It is a great curse (অভিশাপ) to us. It sweeps (পরিষ্কার করা) over villages, streets, roads and houses. Trees are uprooted (উপড়ে ফেলা). It washes away crops and makes people homeless (গৃহহীন). Communication system is disconnected. People suffer for lack of (অভাব) pure drinking water. In a word, (সংক্ষেপে) the flood brings untold (অবর্ণনীয়) miseries (দূর্দশা) to us.
The after affects of flood is dangerous. After flood the price of our daily needs goes up (বৃদ্ধি) very high. The flood affected areas become muddy (কর্দমাক্ত) and unhealthy. Various kinds of diseases such as cholera (কলেরা), dysentery (আমাশয়) and typhoid (টাইফয়েড) break out (প্রাদুর্ভূত হত্তয়া) in an epidemic (মহামারী) form. The weather of the affected area becomes rubbish (আবর্জনা/নোংরা). Rotten (পঁচা) things are seen here there (এদিক ওদিক). They spread out (ছড়িয়ে পড়ে) bad smell (গন্ধ). The communication system is suspended (স্থগিত). People cannot live without tension (চিন্তা).
Usefulness: The floods offer some blessing (আশির্বাদ) to the people. It washes away dirty things from our environment. During flood water carry a great deal of silt (পলি) up on lands. So lands become fertile (উর্বর) and grow more crops. Flood also maintain an ecological balance (পরিবেশগত ভারসাম্য) in the country.
Relief: Relief (ত্রাণ) should be given properly to the flood affected people. They should be rehabilitated (পুনর্বাসিত). Easy loans and seeds (বীজ) should be given to them.
Means of prevention: Proper step should be taken for the control of flood in our country. The silted up river beds should be excavated (খনন). The banks of the rivers should be constructed (নির্মাণ). The origin (উৎপত্তি) point of country’s rivers is starts from India, Nepal and China. The combined (যৌথ) plan should be taken with these countries. Big size water base (তলদেশ) should be constructed at origin point of the rivers. Deforestation (বন উজাড়) should be controlled (নিয়ন্ত্রিত). Tree plantation must be increased. For passing the rain water sluice gate (জলদ্বার) should be made.
Conclusion: Flood is the most dangerous natural calamity in our country. We should control it at any cost (যে কোন মূল্যে). For our proper fast development we have to prevent flood.
