Kolkata, India: Detailed Geographical Description

Location and Coordinates
Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, is situated in eastern India near the Bay of Bengal. It lies on the eastern bank of the Hooghly River (a distributary of the Ganges), approximately 22.57° N latitude and 88.36° E longitude . The city serves as a gateway to eastern India and the northeastern states.

Elevation and Topography
Kolkata has a low elevation, ranging from 1.5 to 9 meters (5–30 feet) above sea level. Its flat terrain is part of the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta , characterized by fertile alluvial soil. This low-lying topography makes the city susceptible to flooding during monsoons and cyclonic storms.

Climate

• Tropical Wet-and-Dry Climate : Hot, humid summers (March–May) with temperatures reaching 38–40°C (100–104°F) .
• Monsoon Season : Heavy rainfall (June–September), averaging 1,600 mm (63 inches) annually.
• Winter : Mild and dry (November–February), with temperatures between 12–25°C (54–77°F) .
• Cyclones : Occasionally affected by cyclones from the Bay of Bengal, causing intense rainfall and flooding.

Key Water Bodies

• Hooghly River : Vital for transportation and trade, hosting the Port of Kolkata (a major economic hub).
• East Kolkata Wetlands : A Ramsar-listed site southeast of the city, functioning as a natural sewage treatment system and supporting biodiversity.
• Sundarbans : Lies ~100 km south; the world’s largest mangrove forest (UNESCO World Heritage Site) influences Kolkata’s ecological and climatic dynamics.

Urban Structure

• Layout : Divided into North Kolkata (historic, densely populated) and South Kolkata (modern, residential/commercial).
• Landmarks : Victoria Memorial, Howrah Bridge, Maidan (a sprawling urban park), and colonial-era architecture.
• Metropolitan Area : Spans ~1,886 km², with a population exceeding 14 million, facing challenges like urban sprawl and pollution.

Environmental Challenges

• Flooding due to low elevation and monsoon rains.
• Pollution from industrial discharge and vehicular emissions.
• Coastal vulnerability to sea-level rise and cyclonic activity.

Geographical Significance
Kolkata’s strategic location along the Hooghly River and proximity to the Bay of Bengal have historically made it a trade and cultural hub . Its geography shapes its economy, ecology, and resilience challenges, balancing urban growth with environmental sustainability.
