Arial Beel is located between the Padma and Dhaleshwari rivers in Munshiganj’s Sreenagar Upazila. It is the largest and oldest beel in the central part of Bangladesh. The roots of water lilies, which grow without any effort in the wetland in the rainy season, were once the food of the poor. The demand for the esculent roots has recently increased a lot among the people due to its popularity for nutrition. They offer an opportunity to earn only by accepting the difficulty of plucking them from the water as there is no cost for production. That's why many people along the banks of haor and beel are interested in picking up the roots.
