Teesta Barrage Bangladesh

The Teesta Barrage, located in the northern part of Bangladesh, is a significant irrigation and water management project. It is built on the Teesta River, which flows from India into Bangladesh, and is located in the Lalmonirhat district. The barrage was constructed to control river flow for irrigation, helping to boost agricultural productivity in the surrounding areas, especially during the dry season. The Teesta Barrage is also critical for flood control and water management in the region.

The project serves large areas of land, particularly in the districts of Nilphamari, Rangpur, and Dinajpur, and plays a vital role in the livelihood of farmers. However, the barrage has also been a point of contention between Bangladesh and India, with discussions about water sharing being ongoing, as the river is transboundary and originates in India.
