    (agriculture in East Pakistan)

Abstract

East Pakistan is characterized by a heavy monsoon rainfall accompanied by inundation of vast areas during the summer season. The inundation is caused by high flood levels of two of the largest rivers of the world, the BrahmaputraJamuna and the Ganges-Padma and by the influx of such major tributaries as the Meghna within the deltaic area. Probably nowhere else in the world is there such a confluence of great rivers as in East Pakistan.
