Transboundary rivers of Bangladesh


Bangladesh has at least 58 major rivers that enter the nation from India or Myanmar. The hydrologic and political effects of rivers that cross significant boundaries are enormous. Rivers have positive effects in that they carry a significant amount of sediment, which aids in building land in estuarine regions. However this sediment raises the height of riverbeds, thereby causing flooding. International conventions governing water sharing have led to complex political disputes.[1]


India and Bangladesh share 54 common rivers, of which agreement has been reached only on sharing of waters of the river Ganges. The India-Bangladesh Treaty on the Sharing of the Ganges Waters was signed on December 12, 1996 and is based on a sharing formula of the flows measured at Farakka, during the lean season each year, from 1 January to 31 May. The 30-year treaty is renewable by mutual consent.[2]

0 I'm wondering if I can run a Node.js script in my Jekyll page from GitHub Pages or Amazon S3? I think it can't run on GitHub Pages since it doesn't support server side code. Not too sure.
