The Meghna River enters the Bay of Bengal through four principal mouths: Tetulia, Shahbazpur, Hatia, and Bamni.1

After receiving the combined waters of the Padma and Jamuna rivers near Chandpur, the Meghna flows for approximately 164 miles (264 km) before reaching the sea. The river's discharge into the bay is characterized by the Meghna estuary, which serves as the largest channel through which the combined Ganges-Brahmaputra system empties into the ocean.12
