Cruising the mighty Ayeyarwaddy Delta of Myanmar

The Irrawaddy Delta itself is a vast basin stretching from the coast of the Bay of Bengal across to the Bago Range. It receives year round drainage from several major rivers, including the Ayeyarwaddy, (Irrawaddy) Bago, Yangon (Hlaing) and Pathein (Ngawun) rivers. Inter cut with narrower canals, streams and tributaries, this riverine network irrigates millions of hectares of farmland, making the delta the central 'rice bowl' of Myanmar. Estuarine environments along the coast provide much of the country's saltwater and freshwater fish harvest. Naturally abundant the Delta is heavily populated with towns and villages to be found through out.
