Answer 2

Answer:

The northernmost point of Ganga Delta is Farakka. The Farakka barrage was built for diverting water from Ganga to meet the requirements of India and Bangladesh.

Explanation:

Farakka barrage was constructed in the district of Murshidabad in West Bengal. The water from the Farakka barrage is diverted in two directions, one goes to Bangladesh, and the other flows into Hooghly for maintaining the Kolkata Port.

Bangladesh depends on the water from the river Ganga to meet its water requirements in the country.
