(e) Yes, I think the Buriganga river is dying. It is because of the random discharging of wastes in it. Industrial wastes, human wastes and wastes from the water vehicle are discharging indiscriminately in the river Buriganga and thus the river is dying.
(f) The four lines of the poem describe the harrowing sea-voyage of an old mariner who at one point of his journey didn’t have any water to drink because of a curse. The lines also indicate the importance of water in our life.
(g) We need water for various reasons. Basically two-thirds of our body is made up of water. It is a source of life. Our body and water are inter-related.
(h) The passage deals with the river Buriganga about its present condition, concerning with the glorious past as a source of water in our country, mentioning a part of S.T. Coleridge’s poem.
(i) The river Buriganga had a glorious past. Once it was a tributary of the mighty Ganges and flowed into the Bay of Bengal through the river Dhaleshwari. Gradually, it lost its link with the Ganges and got the name Buriganga. The Mughals marveled at the tide level of the Buriganga and founded their capital Jahangirnagar on its banks in 1610.
(j) At first, we have to be sincere in our daily work. Discharge of industrial wastes into rivers has to be stopped and similarly alternative dumping zones need to be created. Besides, the polluted rivers are to be treated and dredged.
(k) Buriganga needs a monster’s stomach to digest all the toxic materials and wastes which are thrown by the people, mills and factories, hospitals and clinics etc.
(l) In the voyage of the old mariner we see that, he was in the middle of the water but cannot drink a drop of water. Because the water was not drinkable. So this indicates, as like as the mariner we will also face this kind of situation. The water around us is polluting gradually. There will come one day when we will not get pure water to drink.
(m) Water is the other name of life because we cannot survive without it. Even two thirds of our body is made up of water.
(n) In a meeting on the eve of the new millennium the United Nations identified the drinking water problem as one of the challenges for the future.
(o) We realize the presence of rivers when we find it everywhere in our life, literature, economy and culture.
(p) The present condition of our rivers is not good. A few are already dead and several are going through the pangs of death. Buriganga is the most important example among the dying rivers.
(q) In the past Buriganga was glorious, because it was a tributary of the mighty Ganges and flowed into the Bay of Bengal. Being surprised at the tide level of the Buriganga. The Mughals founded their capital Jahangirnagar on its banks. The river supplied drinking water and supported trade and commerce.
(r) Buriganga is polluted by the toxic materials and wastes which are thrown by the mills and factories, hospitals and clinics etc. The Dhaka city discharges about 4500 tons of solid waste everyday.
(s) According to the experts nine industrial areas in and around the capital city are the primary sources of river pollution. They are – Tongi, Tejgaon, Hazaribagh, Tarabo, Narayanganj, Savar, Gazipur, Dhaka Export processing zone and Ghorashal.
(t) Water is important many ways in our life. We cannot deny the necessity of water for our existence as two thirds of our body is composed of water.

We know that the other name of water is life. It is because no living being can survive without it. In a meeting on the eve of the new millennium, the United Nations identified the drinking water problem as one of the challenges for the future. Bangladesh, being a riverine country, had a glorious past. Then the rivers and canals were filled with water and people easily found fishes of different species. Besides, our rivers were pollution free and people could use water for drinking, cooking and cultivation.
But at present the rivers are polluted with toxic chemicals, food waste and human waste. As a result, the water has become totally undrinkable and unusable. The river Buriganga is a perfect example of this conditions. It is very much polluted with toxic materials and perpetual stench fills the air all around it. Unless we take care of our rivers, a day may come when we will cry for water everywhere but we will not get a drop of it to drink.
