Bangladesh is situated at the point of confluence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, the Meghna Rivers, and is thus heavily affected by flooding and monsoons. In the 19th century six notable floods were recorded in the following years: 1842, 1858, 1871, 1875, 1885, and 1892.

Overall Bandladesh is exposed to an average of 2 floods per year affecting a little more than 40 million people annually.
