Md. Yusuf silently looks out over the Meghna River, which has widened via erosion and consumed his home of many years. Once, his house was about five kilometers away from the river, a home filled with many years of memories. But the incessant erosion of the Meghna has gradually taken away that home, and the house has disappeared into the riverbed. The river that was once a part of his life is now the silent witness to his lost life. Md. Yusuf's story reminds us that river erosion is not just a personal loss, it is a question of the lives and futures of countless people. As erosion widens the river, it not only swallows up land; it also takes pieces of the lives of those who live on its banks.
