For centuries the river system of Bangladesh have watered the fields, put fish on the table and acted as avenue of the in and outside the world. The importance of rivers, gives them a crucial place in the ecology of myth and religion of some groups. Now people are just competing with nature and destructing its as much as they can. The result is that there is a threat of traditional livelihoods and long term impacts on ecology and environment.
However, during 1990s government polices to accelerated the country's GNP, to create more employment. A large industrial zone called the export processing zone (E PZ) was set up at Savar near river Bangshi. This industrial zone along with other local industries began discharging all of their industrial waste into the river and other open water body, undermining the health environment and livelihoods of the people.
