| Dhaleshwari River a distributary
of the jamuna,
takes off in the northwestern part of tangail
district. It is a meandering river having two branches. The main stream
flows north of manikganj
and joins the other branch, the Kaliganga, south of Manikganj. The Kaliganga
again joins with the Dhaleshwari. The buriganga
was once a distributary of the Dhaleshwari and used to discharge its flow
again into the Dhaleshwari. It meets the shitalakshya
river near narayanganj
and flows south to meet the meghna
near Shaitnol and then loses its separate identity. Total length of the
river is about 160 km.
