Ganges delta, region in West Bengal state, India, and Bangladesh.An area of about 220 miles (355 km) wide along the Bay of Bengal, it is covered by the network of streams forming the mouths of the Ganges (Ganga) and Brahmaputra rivers. In Bangladesh the Brahmaputra is joined by the Tista River and, from there to its junction with the Ganges, is known as the Jamuna River. The Ganges Delta has the shape of a triangle and is considered to be an "arcuate" (arc-shaped) delta. It covers more than 105,000 km 2 (41,000 sq mi) and, although the delta lies mostly in Bangladesh and India, rivers from Bhutan, Tibet, India, and Nepal drain into it from the north. Approximately 60% of the delta is in Bangladesh and 40% in West Bengal, India.

Analysis of cyclone frequency in the northern Indian Ocean from the 1870s to 1990s (Singh et al., 2000; Raghavan and Rajesh, 2003) suggests a slight decrease in activity over this period, with an average of almost 9 tropical cyclones per year. However, decadal variations in activity are observed (Kudrass et al., 1998). Delta del Ganges visto desde un satélite (NASA). Una vista más amplia del delta del Ganges (NASA).
