Water level in 55 rivers rises, 66 falls: FFWC

DHAKA, July 20, 2025 (BSS) - Water levels at 55 river stations monitored by Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) have marked rise while 66 stations recorded fall.

Among the 127 monitored river stations, water levels at six stations have remained steady while no stations 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 levels of the Teesta, Dharla, and Dudhkumar rivers are rising. These rivers may continue to rise for the next one day and remain stable for the following two days. 

Within the next 24 hours, the Teesta River may flow near the warning level (close to the danger level) potentially causing flooding in low-lying areas along the Teesta in Lalmonirhat, Nilphamari, Rangpur, and Kurigram districts. 

The water levels of the Ganges and Padma rivers are rising and may continue to do so for the next five days; however, they are expected to flow below the danger level.

The water levels of the Surma and Kushiyara rivers are decreasing. These rivers may continue to recede over the next two days and remain stable on the following day.

The water level of the Brahmaputra River is rising, while the water level of the Jamuna River is falling. The water levels of these rivers may remain stable for the next two days and then start to decrease over the following three days. Both are expected to continue flowing below the danger level.
