1984年孟加拉国连续发生了三次严重水灾。在一些地区，三次都发生了洪水。然而，在其他地区，洪水产生了不同的影响，不幸的是，在最糟糕的时候，洪水袭击了特定的水稻作物。5月份的洪水影响了东部地区，导致山洪从印度山区下降，穿过了科米拉、Feni、Kishoreganj、Tangail、Srimangel、Kulaura和Sylhet等地区。6月至7月的洪水是过度降雨和河流洪水的结合，主要影响了贾穆纳-帕德玛河（布拉马普特拉河-恒河）沿岸附近的地区，如法里德普尔、杰索尔、巴里萨尔、兰格普尔和坦吉尔。9月初和中旬的最近一次洪水袭击了主要的“移植阿曼”盈余种植区，如Rangpur、Dinajpur、Kurigram、Bogra、Pabna、Rajshahi和Dhaka，以及较小的地区（从T. Aman的观点来看），如Sylhet。库什蒂亚和坦吉尔。孟加拉国一年中四种水稻作物接连遭受洪水损失：波罗（5月/ 6月收获）、Aus（8月/ 9月收获）、深水长播阿曼（10月/ 11月收获）和短季移植阿曼（11月/ 12月收获）。去年（1983年），Boro提供了全部大米产量的2490%，Aus提供了2270，Broadcast Aman提供了10%，transplant Aman提供了44%。阿曼是一年中最大的单一作物。很明显，这些损失意味着严重的困难和剥夺农民和农场工人依赖他们的食物供应在未来
Three serious floods occurred in rapid succession in Bangladesh during 1984. In some areas flooding occurred on each of the three occasions. However, in other areas, the floods had separate and distinct effects, unfortunately hitting particular rice crops at just the worst time. The May flood affected eastern regions causing flash floods to descend from the Indian hills, running through areas such as Comilla, Feni, Kishoreganj, Tangail, Srimangel, Kulaura and Sylhet. The June-July flood was a combination of excessive rainfall and river flooding affecting mainly areas near the banks of the combined Jamuna-Padma (Brahmaputra-Ganges) such as Faridpur, Jessore, Barisal, Rangpur and Tangail.The most recent floods of early and mid September hit the major surplus-producing Transplanted Aman growing areas of Rangpur, Dinajpur, Kurigram, Bogra, Pabna, Rajshahi and Dhaka as well as lesser areas (from the viewpoint of T. Aman) such as Sylhet. Kushtia and Tangail. In rapid succession Bangladesh suffered flood losses to the four rice crops of the year: Boro (harvested in May/June), Aus (harvested in August/September), deepwater long-duration Broadcast Aman (harvested in October/November) and short season Transplanted Aman (harvested in November/December). Last year (1983) Boro provided 2490 of all rice produced, Aus 2270, Broadcast Aman 10% and Transplanted Aman 44%. The T. Aman crop is the largest single crop of the year. It is clear that these losses mean serious hardship and deprivation for the farmers and farm laborers who depended upon them for their food supplies in the coming
