    The document summarizes inland open waterbodies and their distribution in Bangladesh. It defines inland open waterbodies as bodies of water situated on land and not connected to the ocean. It provides examples of different types of inland open waterbodies like lakes, reservoirs, rivers, tributaries, and ponds. It then discusses the distribution of various waterbodies in Bangladesh, noting that rivers and their tributaries cover 1.03 million ha, accounting for 25.49% of the total inland open water area. Flooding of rivers during monsoon inundates 70% of the total land surface.

    Introduction

    The fisheries resources of Bangladesh have been divided broadly into inland and marine
    fisheries. The inland fisheries covers an area of about 4.3 million ha, while the area of marine
    fisheries is about 7 million ha-both producing about 0.95 million mt of fish annually. However,
    most of this fish production comes from inland fisheries resources totalling about 0.71 mt per
    year. This inland fish production constitutes about 72.1% of the total fish production of the
    country. The inland fisheries is again divided into open-water fisheries (capture fisheries) and
    closed-water fisheries (culture fisheries).

    INLAND OPEN WATERBODIES

    An open inland waterbody refers to a body of water that is situated on land and is not connected
    to the ocean or a coastal area. It is typically surrounded by land on all sides, with no direct
    access to the sea. These waterbodies can take various forms, such as lakes, ponds, reservoirs,
    and rivers.

    The inland open-water fisheries of Bangladesh includes rivers (including estuaries), canals,
    beels, floodplains, Sundarbans and Kaptai lake. All these waterbodies cover an area of 4.05
    million ha, which is about 94% of the total areas of the inland fisheries of the country.

    Here are some examples of inland open waterbodies:

     Lakes: A lake is a large inland body of water, typically freshwater, that is surrounded
    by land. It is usually larger and deeper than a pond, and it can be natural or artificial.
    Lakes can form through various geological processes, such as tectonic activity,
    glaciation, volcanic activity, or the filling of a basin. They can be found in diverse
    environments, including mountains, valleys, plains, and coastal areas.
     Reservoirs: Reservoirs are artificial bodies of water created by dams or barriers across
    rivers. They store water for irrigation, drinking water, power generation, and flood
    control. Reservoirs regulate water supply, offer recreational opportunities, and support
    ecosystems, but their construction can have environmental impacts.

     Rivers: Rivers are natural watercourses that flow from a source to larger bodies of
    water. They support ecosystems, provide resources for humans, and shape the
    landscape.

     Tributary: A tributary is a smaller river or stream that flows into a larger river, lake,
    or other body of water. It is a secondary watercourse that contributes its water to the
    main river system. Tributaries can vary in size and may originate from various sources
    such as springs, rainfall runoff, or other smaller streams.

     Ponds: A pond is a small area of still, fresh water. It is different from a river or a stream
    because it does not have moving water and it differs from a lake because it has a small
    area and is no more than around 1.8m deep. Some ponds are formed naturally, filled
    either by an underwater spring, or by rainwater – sometimes known as ‘dewponds’;
    other ponds are artificially made.

    Distribution

    1.Rivers: Bangladesh possesses about 230 rivers including their tributaries. The three main
    rivers of the country viz., Padma, Meghna and Jamuna-Brahmaputra and their tributaries cover
    an area of 1.03 million ha, which constitute about 25.49% of the total inland open water area.
    During monsoon, annual flooding of the rivers inundate 70% of the total land surface.
