Answer:

The Brahmaputra /Ganges delta a good place to live because "It has rich soil deposits for farmland".

Step-by-step explanation:

Many rivers drain into the delta, the most important of them being, the Brahmaputra and the Ganges. Small sediments of soil are brought by the water currents and they will eventually settle down and form the different soils.

These soils contain many minerals and nutrients and therefore best suited for agriculture. Most of the people who live in the delta depend on agriculture for their living. Many crops are cultivated in the delta and the important ones are tea, rice, etc. Fishing is a major occupation as well.
