TEESTA RIVER, BANGLADESH, 2018. A husband and wife stand at the edge of their pumpkin harvest, grown in the exposed riverbed during the dry winter months when the water retreats. The Teesta once ran full year-round. India's Gajoldoba Barrage, built upstream in West Bengal, diverts the flow before it reaches northern Bangladesh. The river now supports 14 percent of the country's cropland and sustains more than nine million people. In the dry season, it shrinks to sandbars. Farmers plant where boats once crossed.
