DHAKA, June 22, 2025 (BSS) - Water levels at 73 river stations monitored by 
Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) have marked rise while 43 
stations recorded fall.

Among the 119 monitored river stations, water levels at three stations have 
remained steady while water levels at all rivers are flowing below the danger 
level, a bulletin issued by the FFWC said here today.

The bulletin said the water levels of all major rivers are flowing below the 
danger level.

The water levels of the Kangsha, Sarigowain, Jinjiram, and Someshwari rivers 
in the Sylhet and Mymensingh divisions are rising; whereas the water levels 
of the Bhugai, Manu, Jadukata, and Khowai rivers are stable and flowing below 
the danger level. Moderately-heavy to heavy rainfall is likely in this basin 
over the next 2 days, and moderate to moderately heavy rainfall is expected 
on the 3rd day. The water levels of these rivers may continue to rise over 
the next 2 days and remain steady on the 3rd day. The Sarigowain River in 
Sylhet district, the Jadukata River in Sunamganj district, and the Someshwari 
River in Netrokona district may flow close to the danger level (within the 
danger level) over the next 24 hours, the bulletin added. 

The water levels of the Teesta, Dharla, and Dudhkumar rivers are currently 
stable. Over the next 3 days, the water levels of these rivers may rise, and 
the Teesta River may flow close to the danger level (within the denger level) 
within the next 72 hours. Moderately-heavy to heavy rainfall is likely in 
this basin over the next 3 days.

The water levels of the Brahmaputra-Jamuna rivers are rising. The water 
levels may continue to rise over the next 5 days; however, they are expected 
to flow below the danger level.

The water level of the Surma-Kushiyara River is falling. The water level of 
the Surma may decrease on the next 2 days and remain stable for the 3rd day, 
while the Kushiyara may continue to fall over the next 3days; both are 
expected to flow below the danger level.

The water level of the Ganges-Padma Rivers is rising. The water levels of 
both rivers may continue torise over the next 05 days; however, they are 
expected to flow below the danger level.
