Bangladesh has about 24,000 km of rivers, streams and canals that together cover about 7% of the country's surface. Most part of the country is linked by a complex network of waterways which reaches its extensive size in the monsoon period. Out of 24,000 km of rivers, streams and canals only about 5,970 km is navigable by mechanized vessels during monsoon period which shrinks to about 3,870 km during dry period. The IWT sector carries over 50% of all arterial freight traffic and one quarter of all passenger traffic.
