Part of the Sundarbans is shielded from tidal inflow by leaves and there one finds villages and agriculture.
During the monsoon season,  the low lying agricultural lands are waterlogged and the summer crop (kharif crop) is therefore mainly deepwater rice or floating rice.
In the dry winter season the land is normally uncropped and used for cattle grazing.
However, the lands near the villages are irrigated from ponds that were filled up during monsoon, and vegetable crops (Rabi crops) can be grown here.
