Feni: The flood situation in the Feni district is likely to develop as the water levels of the Selonia and Muhuri Rivers are expected to reduce in the next 72 hours. The water of these rivers is currently flowing below the danger level, but moderate to heavy rainfall is forecasted for the river basin areas in the coming three days, according to a release from the Flood Forecasting and Warning Center (FFWC) of the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB).
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the water levels of the Tista and Darala Rivers are rising, yet they remain under the danger level. These levels are anticipated to decrease over the next three days, with moderate to heavy rainfall expected on these river basins. Similarly, the water levels of the Surma and Kushiyara Rivers are rising but are also below the danger level. These levels are expected to stabilize by the third day, with continued rainfall forecasted.
The Ganges and Padma Rivers, however, are experiencing rising water levels, which are projected to persist for the next five days. Despite this, the water flow is likely to remain under the danger level, with moderate to heavy rainfall anticipated in these areas. Conversely, the water levels of the Halda, Gomoti, Feni, Sangu, and Matamuhuri Rivers are decreasing and will continue to do so for the next day. However, an increase is expected by the third day, accompanied by rainfall in the river basin areas.
Furthermore, the Brahmaputra and Jamuna Rivers are witnessing rising water levels that are expected to remain static for the next day before decreasing over the subsequent four days. The flow is expected to stay below the danger level, with moderate rainfall anticipated over the next five days. The Chattogram and Dhaka divisions have experienced moderate to heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours. The low-pressure system over the Gangetic West Bengal and its surrounding areas has weakened.
The FFWC reports that water levels have risen at 80 points, decreased at 44 points, and remained unchanged at 3 stations, based on observations from 127 water level centers across the country's rivers.
