The Ichhamati, the second most important river in the district after the Hooghly "flows south easterly meandering course over C.D.

style="text-align: left;" |

Hasnabad is right on the border with Bangladesh. The meandering Ichhamati forms the riverine border. Guarding such a border is laced with many challenges: Bangladeshi infiltrators, armed cattle smugglers, human traffickers….The Border Security Force is now (2015) using floating border outposts, which coordinate with their pickets set across the river bank. Each floating outpost is crewed by 34 specially trained BSF personnel and are provided with the latest electronic surveillance gadgets and speed boats. More such floating outposts are being added to provide BSF with a strategic edge in guarding a porous border in one of the most thickly populated regions of the world.{{cite web | url = https://in.news.yahoo.com/floating-outposts-bsf-strategic-edge-100005910.html | title = Floating outposts give BSF strategic edge | first = Anurag | last = Dey | publisher = Yahoo News, 23 February 2015 |access-date = 12 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180623005254/https://in.news.yahoo.com/floating-outposts-bsf-strategic-edge-100005910.html | url-status=dead |archive-date=23 June 2018}}{{cite web | url = https://www.indiatoday.in/india/west-bengal/story/keeping-hope-afloat-bsf-awaits-upgraded-floating-border-outpost-to-guard-sunderbans-against-smugglers-341779-2016-09-18 | title = Keeping hope afloat: BSF awaits upgraded floating border outposts to guard Sunderbans against smugglers| first= Kamaljit Kaur | last= Sandhu | publisher = India Today, 18 September 2016 |access-date = 12 May 2018}}{{cite web | url = http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/chasing-cattle-keeps-bsf-busy-on-indo-bangla-border/ | title = Chasing cattle keeps BISF busy on the India-Bangladesh border| first = Vijaita | last = Singh | publisher = The Indian Express, 3 June 2015 |access-date = 6 May 2018}}
