Dhaka: Water levels at 48 river stations monitored by the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) have risen, while 62 stations have recorded a fall. Among the 119 monitored river stations, nine stations have remained steady, and no stations are flowing above the danger level, a bulletin issued by the FFWC stated today.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the water levels of all major rivers are currently below the danger level. The Brahmaputra-Jamuna rivers are stable, with expectations to remain steady over the next day. However, during the subsequent four days (08 to 12 July), their water levels may rise but are expected to stay below the danger level.
The Ganges River is experiencing a rise in water levels, which may continue over the next five days (07 to 12 July). Conversely, the Padma River's water level remains stable and is likely to continue for the next three days, with a potential rise during the following two days (10 to 12 July). Despite these changes, the rivers are expected to flow below the danger level.
The Surma River's water level is falling, while the Kushiyara River remains stable, both flowing below the danger level. Over the next three days (07 to 10 July), these rivers' water levels are expected to remain steady. Moderate to moderately heavy rainfall is anticipated in this basin during this period.
In the Chattogram division, the Sangu and Matamuhuri rivers are rising, whereas the Halda River's water level is falling. The Sangu, Matamuhuri, and Halda rivers may rise over the next two days and remain steady for the following day, but they are expected to flow below the danger level. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely in this basin over the next two days, with moderate to moderately heavy rainfall on the following day, the bulletin added.
Coastal rivers in the Barisal, Khulna, and Chattogram divisions are experiencing higher-than-normal tidal water levels, which may persist for the next three days. A low-pressure system persists over the northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas, with heavy to very heavy rainfall likely over the next two days and moderate to moderately heavy rainfall on the following day.
