The Jamuna River (Bangla:যমুনা Jomuna) is one of the three main rivers ofBangladesh. It is the main channel of the Brahmaputra River when it flows out of Indiainto Bangladesh. The Jamuna flows south, ending its independent existence as it joins the Padma River (Pôdda) near Goalundo Ghat. Merged with the Padma (Pôdda), it meets the Meghna River near Chandpur. Its waters then flow into the Bay of Bengal as theMeghna River.
The river's average depth is 395 feet (120 m) and maximum depth is 1,088 feet (332 m]
The Jamuna was a barrier in establishing a direct road link between capital Dhaka and northern part of Bangladesh better known as Rajshahi Division until 1996. This was mitigated by the completion of the Jamuna Multi-Purpose Bridge.
