The river Ganges in densely populated Bangladesh completely changed course due to an extreme earthquake event, a first-ever evidence of a large river delta being fully relocated by seismic activity.
Bangladesh faces the risk of another major earthquake leading to the Ganges river relocating again, posing a significant threat due to the dense population living in the region.
The Ganges river system, along with the Brahmaputra, has shifted multiple times in the past 6,000 years due to its natural erosional processes, showcasing the dynamic nature of these river systems.
