Water Levels Rise in 24 Rivers, Fall in 89: FFWC

The Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) has reported that water levels have risen at 24 of the 116 monitored river stations, while 89 stations have experienced a decline.

According to the latest bulletin, water levels at three stations have remained unchanged. Despite some fluctuations, all major rivers across the country are currently flowing below danger levels.

In detail, the water levels of the Brahmaputra-Jamuna rivers are on the decline, whereas the Ganga-Padma rivers are holding steady, with this trend expected to continue for the next 48 hours.

In the northern regions, including the Teesta, Dharla, and Dudhkumar rivers, water levels are receding, suggesting that these rivers will maintain normal flow conditions over the coming two days.

The northeastern and eastern regions are seeing a general decrease in river levels. With no heavy rainfall forecasted in these areas or their adjacent uplands in the next 48 hours, rivers such as the Surma, Kushiara, Manu, Khoai, Feni, Muhuri, Gomti, and Titas are expected to continue declining and remain below danger levels.

Similarly, in the southeastern part of the country, the water levels of major rivers, including the Sangu, Matamuhuri, Karnaphuli, and Halda, are also on a downward trend. Meteorological forecasts indicate no significant rainfall in this region or its uplands in the next 48 hours, reinforcing the expectation of continued decreases in river levels.
