Water level in 28 rivers rises, 88 falls: FFWC

Water levels at 28 river stations monitored by the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) have shown an increase, while 88 stations recorded a decline.

According to a bulletin issued by the FFWC today, among the 116 monitored river stations, water levels at three stations have remained steady. Crucially, no river stations are currently flowing above the danger level, and the water levels of all major rivers remain below this threshold.

The Teesta River is experiencing a rise in water level, but it is expected to remain below the danger mark for the next three days.

In the Chattogram division, water levels in the Muhuri and Gomti rivers are rising. The FFWC forecasts moderate to moderately heavy rainfall in the basins of the Gomti, Muhuri, Feni, Halda, Sangu, and Matamuhuri rivers on Day 1, escalating to moderately heavy to heavy rainfall on Day 2, and heavy to very heavy rainfall on Day 3. While water levels in these rivers may remain stable on Day 1, they are projected to increase on Days 2 and 3, though still expected to flow below the danger level.

Conversely, the Surma River’s water level is decreasing, while the Kushiyara River is experiencing a rise. The Surma River’s level may remain stable for the next two days before potentially increasing on Day 3. The Kushiyara River, however, is expected to continue its rising trend over the next three days. Both rivers are forecast to remain below the danger level. This basin is likely to see moderate to moderately heavy rainfall over the next two days, with heavy to very heavy rainfall anticipated on Day 3.

The Brahmaputra-Jamuna Rivers are currently seeing decreasing water levels. This trend is expected to continue for the next two days, stabilize on Day 3, and then increase over the subsequent two days, though levels are projected to stay below the danger mark.

Similarly, the water levels of the Ganges-Padma Rivers are also decreasing. This downward trend is expected to persist for the next three days and then remain stable for the following two days, with flows continuing to stay below the danger level.
