Fishing boats with colorful handcrafted sails stop along the banks of Bangladesh's Meghna River.
Water is a way of life throughout Bangladesh, a country that essentially comprises a vast floodplain for some of the world's most powerful rivers.
According to one resident: "To understand Bangladesh, you must understand our rivers."
