Fishing in a Dead River

At summer noon a group of fishermen are fishing in an almost dead Mohanonda river in Chapai Nababganj district, Bangladesh. There was a time when the river was full of water, but from many years there is seen little amount of water especially in winter to summer season, just before to begin the monsoon. It’s happening due to global warming and the construction of dams on the river in neighbouring country. When it rains in rainy season/monsoon, a lot of water can be seen in the river.
