The Dhaleshwari River (Bengali : ধলেশ্বরী , romanized : Dhalēśbarī Dhôleshshori ) is a distributary , 160 kilometres (99 mi ) long, of the Jamuna River in central Bangladesh . It branches off the Jamuna near the northwestern tip of Tangail District . After that it divides into two branches: the north branch retains the name Dhaleshwari and merges with the other branch, the Kaliganga River at the southern part of Manikganj District . Finally the merged flow meets the Shitalakshya River near Narayanganj District . This combined flow goes southwards to merge into the Meghna River .
Average depth of river is 122 feet (37 m ) and maximum depth is 265 feet (81 m ).
Pollution of the Dhaleshwari River by the textile industry has been described by academics as an ecocide .[1]
