Surma-Meghna River System, Drainage system in Northeast India and Bangladesh.

The Surma-Meghna system extends 946 kilometers from the Manipur Hills through Bangladesh, forming multiple channels and tributaries along its path.

The river network originated from the ancient tectonic movements that created the Sylhet Depression, shaping the entire northeastern Indian subcontinent drainage pattern.

Local communities along the Surma-Meghna system maintain traditional fishing methods and water transportation practices that define their daily routines.

During monsoon season, the rivers collect water from Meghalaya's rainfall of 1000 centimeters, requiring inhabitants to adapt their agricultural schedules.

At Bhairab Bazar, the system transforms into the Lower Meghna, forming channels that reach 32 kilometers in width at the Bay of Bengal.
