It discusses five key reasons for frequent flooding: most land being less than one meter above sea level, monsoon weather, snowmelt from the Himalayas, cyclones in the Bay of Bengal, and two massive rivers flowing into the country. The flooding creates major issues for Bangladesh's large population, destroying homes and affecting livelihoods. Solutions such as flood shelters have been implemented to help manage the frequent flooding.
