Kirtankhola River

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Kirtankhola (Bengali) is a river that starts at Sayeshtabad, in the district of Barisal, Bangladesh, and ends in Gajalia, near the Gabkhan canal. The total length of the river is about 160 kilometres (99 mi). Waste dumping, to the tune of 50 tons every day, by one account, has jeopardized the biodiversity of the river and its connected canals.

Flows through: Bangladesh.
