Water hyacinth engulfs Buriganga tributary

The Buriganga River breaks up into small streams after reaching Kamrangirchar. Only one of these tributaries is connected with the river. Each tributary is covered with water hyacinth at some point every year. Residents of Kamrangirchar usually cross the hyacinth-filled tributaries or canals, which create the illusion of green fields, by boat to save travel time. Photo: Mahmud Zaman Ovi
