[3] A report on wetland protection and enhancement says, “The Turag-Bangshi floodplain is located in Kaliakair Upazila of Gazipur District.

The Upper Turag-Lower Bangshi is the main source of water in the region and flows through the site.

All associated beels and other floodplain areas are connected to the main river through a series of khals and other channels.

By late November, most of the water recedes and boro rice is planted in almost all of the low-lying areas.

About 2,68,900 people live in this area with 84% of households being involved in fishing, and 15 % of households are full-time fishers.”[4] A Bazar NayarHat is situated at the bank, while the famous pottery village Pal Para is also situated on the south side of the Bangshi.
