The Meghna River (Bangla মেঘনা) is one of the three largest rivers in Bangladesh. It’s the downstream of combind flows of two others largest rivers the Padma & the Jamuna and finally meet with the Bay of Bengal.
Meghna is reinforced by the Dhaleshwari before Chandpur as well. The name for the largest distributary of the Ganges in Bangladesh is the Padma river. When the Padma joins with the Jamuna river, the largest distributary of the Brahmaputra, and they join with the Meghna in Chandpur District, , the result in Bangladesh is called the Lower Meghna. When the brown and hazy water of the Padma mix with the clear water of the Upper Meghna, the two streams do not mix but flow in parallel down to the sea - making half of the river clear and the other half brown. This peculiarity of the river is always a great attraction for people. The Meghna is the widest river among those that flow completely inside the boundaries of Bangladesh. Near Bhola Meghna is 12 km wide. In its lower reaches this river follows almost a straight line in its path. The river's average depth is 1,012 feet (308 m) and maximum depth is 1,620 feet (490 m). In the origin of Hatiya and Bhola, the deepest point is the Meghna River Creek, it reaches 1,998 feet (609 m)
