DHAKA Cheap Usc Trojans Jersey , Aug. 13 (Xinhua) -- Flesh floods triggered by heavy seasonal rains and onrush of water from hills across the Indian borders on Sunday claimed lives of at least 18 people in three northwestern Bangladesh districts.
Flood situation in Dinajpur district, some 338 km northwest of capital Dhaka, deteriorated drastically early on Sunday after an embankment for protection of the the district town was broken, Monsur Ali Sarkar, officer-in-charge of the district's Kaharol Police Station, told Xinhua Sunday night.
He said that "five people are dead after flash flooding swept away in places in Kahrol."
Abdul Majid, another official of the district's Birol Police Station Cheap Wisconsin Badgers Jersey , said four people were dead and one man was missing after a flash flood roared Birol."
Overall flood situation is also alarming in two more Bangladesh districts - northwestern Lalmonirhat and northern Kurigram where rivers are flowing above the danger level.
Eight more deaths have been reported in these two districts in connection with the massive flooding.
The Lalmonirhat and Kurigram deaths reported by the local media, however, have not been confirmed immediately.
Apart from the district, flash floods eroded large portions of villages and agricultural lands, and washed away buildings elsewhere in Bangladesh.
Authorities have evacuated residents of hundreds of villages to higher grounds in a number of Bangladesh districts that are prone to torrential rains between June and September.
TV reports showed villages in the country's north and northeast have gone under up-to-waist-high water. The residents were seen leaving their houses wading through flooded roads or on boats in search for shelter or a dry ground to live temporarily.
A Bangladeshi minister said last month that there was possibility of "high magnitude flooding" in the country amid moderate to heavy rains which have led to further elevated rivers and canals.
"There is possibility of high magnitude flooding in the second half of August," Water Resources Minister Anisul Islam Mahmud told reporters.
He said the country has been experiencing an increasingly intense rainfall over the last weeks.
Plight to millions of people in Bangladesh mount as the low-lying Bangladesh experiences almost every year small or big floods, as monsoon rains that sweep the subcontinent from June to September combine with snow melt from the Himalayas in major rivers that run through the country to the Bay of Bengal.
Experts said Bangladesh Cheap Texas Longhorns Jersey , bordering the Bay of Bengal, has become more vulnerable to climate change-related problems like cyclones, flooding, as its capacity to protect its people and land is feeble.
In 2007, two floods in Bangladesh killed more than 1,000 people.

New York, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- Dressed in her Catch 22 team-logo tank top, Stacy Wu hit for a morning exercise on the lake of World Fair Marina in New York on Sunday, together with her dragon boat teammates.
For the past month, they have come for training twice or three times a week Cheap Penn State Nittany Lions Jersey , preparing for a race less than one week away.
Stacy, a New York-based analyst, is the pacer in the team, sitting in the front row, observing the water conditions, and setting up the pace for the boat with her paddle.
As a Chinese American, she learned about the sport from the annual dragon boat festival in Flushing Cheap Oregon Ducks Jersey , a Chinese community in New York where she lives.
"I do really enjoy the cultural aspect of it," she said. "I would like to get in touch with my Chinese side."
This is the second year since Stacy joined Catch22, one of the most prominent dragon boat teams in the city. Born out of New York City's Flushing Bay in 2011, the team has been a breeding ground for dragon boat crews for years.
"Our teammates come from all over New York area, we meet them through our social media sites, through friends and family," David Woo Cheap Oklahoma State Cowboys Jersey , the coach and head of the team, told Xinhua.
Most of the paddlers are drawn to the team by its glorious competition record, not just Asian Americans. It now has nearly 40 members. In New York City, there are quite a few competitive teams like Catch22, along side many other amateur and corporate teams, who can be spotted almost every summer weekend on the lakes in New York City.
WELL-KEPT TRADITION, MUCH-LOVED SPORT
In Chinese legend Cheap Oklahoma Sooners Jersey , the dragon boat culture emerged some 2,500 years ago, to mark Qu Yuan, an ancient Chinese patriotic poet, after he drowned himself in the Miluo River. To prevent fish and water dragons from eating his body, the locals beat their drums and splashed their paddles. This was the beginning of dragon boat racing .
Qu might never have imagined that his death would inspire a much-loved sport, not only in China Cheap Notre Dame Fighting Irish Jersey , but also all across the world.
The tradition is well-kept in China, where dragon boat races, or the Dragon Boat Festival, are held in many cities on the fifth day of the fifth month of lunar calendar. Rules are also formulated to make the sport into regulated events.
In 1991, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in New York City took a step future by bringing it to New York's Hudson River, trying to promote the image of Hong Kong.
It was supposed to be a one-year event, but the organizers decided to bring it back due to its popularity Cheap North Carolina Tar Heels Jersey , Henry Wan, chairman of New York's Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival hos"
