Water level in 51 rivers rises, 66 falls: FFWC

DHAKA, June 29, 2025 (BSS) - Water levels at 51 river stations monitored by Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) have marked rise while 66 stations recorded fall.

Among the 119 monitored river stations, water levels at two stations have remained steady while no stations are flowing above the danger level, a bulletin issued by the FFWC said here today.

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

The water level of the Brahmaputra River is rising, while the water level of the Jamuna River remains stable. Over the next one day, the water levels of the Brahmaputra-Jamuna Rivers may rise, remain stable on thesecond day, and start to fall over the following three days. The rivers are expected to flow below the danger level.

The water levels of the Ganges and Padma rivers remain stable. The water levels of these rivers may remain stable over the next five days and are expected to flow below the danger level.

The water levels of the Surma and Kushiyara rivers are falling. Over the next one day, the water levels of these rivers may continue to fall and remain stable during the following two days. Moderate to moderately heavy rainfall is likely in this basin over the next three days; are expected to flow below the danger level.

The water level of the Matamuhuri River in the Chattogram division is rising, while the water levels of the Gomti, Halda, and Sangu rivers remain stable, and the water levels of the Feni and Muhuri rivers are falling; all are flowing below the danger level. Over the next three days, the water levels of the Sangu, Halda, and Matamuhuri rivers may rise. 

On the other hand, the water levels of the Muhuri, Gomti, and Feni rivers may remain stable for the next 24 hours and then begin to rise over the following two days; are expected to flow below the danger level. 

Moderate to heavy rainfall to heavy rainfall is likely in this basin over the next three days, added the bulletin.

Tidal water levels higher than normal are currently prevailing in the coastal rivers of Barisal, Khulna, and Chattogram divisions. A low-pressure system persists over the northwest Bay of Bengal and its adjoining areas, and moderate to heavy rainfall to heavy rainfall is likely in this basin over the next three days.

During this period, tidal water levels in the coastal rivers of Barisal, Khulna, and Chattogram divisions may remain higher than normal.
