Figure 3. Map showing Bangladesh and the course of the Ganges River. Note Kolkata and the Hooghly River in southern India near the Bay of Bengal. The Farraka Barrage (dam) diverts water from the Ganges, where it would flow into Bangladesh, and redirects it to the Hooghly River, keeping the water in India. This resulted in severe water shortages between 1976 and 1996.
