Titas River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Titas River (Bangla: তিতাস Titash) is a river in south-eastern Bangladesh. It originates from the state of Tripura in India, and enters Bangladesh near Agartala (India) and Akhaura (Brahmanbaria District, Bangladesh). The length of the river is about 98 km. It falls into the Meghna River near Ashuganj.
Many legends about Titas and Meghna traverse from generation to generation in world's largest deltaic country Bangladesh. One such legend says that Titas is the daughter of Meghna, who has been carrying her progeny to the Bay of Bengal since time immemorial. Amazingly enough, the two streams never commingle, and they keep a conspicuous demarcation line between them. While many hydrographers attribute this phenomenon to the difference in water properties of the two rivers, the people cherish to think of them as mother-daughter.
Titas Gas, the biggest natural gas reserve of Bangladesh located in Brahmanbaria,which supplies gas to capital Dhaka, is named after this river.
