<p>Content Updated.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Betna River&#039;&#039;&#039; originating from the northeastern part of [[Jessore District|jessore]], the [[River|river]] flows south near Navaron of [[Sharsha Upazila|sharsha]] upazila. After flowing through [[Kalaroa Upazila|kalaroa]] upazila of [[Satkhira District|satkhira]] district it enters [[Khulna District|khulna]] district. It debouches into the [[Kobadak River|kobadak]] after being renamed as the Kalia and branching out as the Dalua at a place named Benarpota. The Dalua is now detached from the Betna due to construction of a [[Barrage|barrage]] near Benarpota. Part of the discharge of the Betna is drained through the Marichap-Kobadak and the rest is drained through the Marichap-Kholpetua. The total length of the river is about 192 km and the average width is 125m. The Betna is under tidal influence.<br /> <br /> Navaron, Ulshi, Shankarpur, Kalaroa, Benarpota, Chapra are some important places on the banks of the Betna. In the upstream from Navaron to Kalaroa water is being used for [[Irrigation|irrigation]] through pumping. The downstream is navigable throughout the year. In winter, salinity increases from Jessore to Shankarpur due to lack of flow and as a result [[Agriculture|agriculture]] is hindered in this season.
