Padma is an Indian river

Better start conserving these precious resources now than let it just flow down the bay of bengal. 52 rivers are down streaming to the ocean hundreds of thousands gallons by the seconds. We got billion mouths to feed and more than 650000 square kilometers land need to be cultivated and irrigated. Better start preparing now bangladesh. Build your own dams. No one is going to build them for you.

Why should BD worry about the number of dams we build?

Their only worry should be getting their fair share of water.. In fact these dams would help Bangladesh against floods.

Water Terrorism........ Not a bad word by the way.........

UN treaty for water sharing states that any countries wishing to build dams etc in their country must speak with down flow countries, therefore before India does this, India must negotiate with Bangladesh, Though we know that's never worked out, however I'm confident that Modi can make things work. He's put forward the land boundary agreement, he's looked into the teesta deal, he's looked into help the North east of India etc, and all though discussion with BD. Also he's helped fight againt the commie Mamatama. Also it's kind of hypocritical of India saying that they're against the building of dam on the brahampurta because of no cooperation, when succesive indian govenments have done the same.

All in all, I'm for it, but their must be some cooperation between India and Bangladesh, we must know the SWOT of building dams too (Swot=strength, weakness, opportunaties and threats) Lie is Bangladesh going to benefit (and before indian say, oh it's going to mitigate floods, remember, bangladesh needs those revers and floods, it's what helps fertelize our crops etc.) Remeber this also, agriculture is one of the biggest sectors in Bangladesh, counting for 40 odd something percent of the GDP.
