Dhaka: Water levels in three major rivers in Bangladesh’s northern region—the Teesta, Dharla and Dudhkumar—may rise over the next three days, according to the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre of the Bangladesh Water Development Board.
The centre said on Thursday (September 3) that water levels in all major rivers across the country are currently flowing below the danger mark. However, a rising trend has been observed in the Brahmaputra-Jamuna river basin.
Water levels in the Brahmaputra-Jamuna may continue to rise over the next three days before remaining stable for the following two days. Meanwhile, water levels in most rivers in the northeastern and eastern regions are falling, although some rivers may experience temporary fluctuations.
In the northern region, light to moderate rainfall is expected in the area and adjoining upstream regions, which could lead to rising water levels in the Teesta, Dharla and Dudhkumar rivers.
Water levels in the Ganges and Padma are currently stable, and no major changes are expected in the coming days.
In the southeastern region, water levels in the Muhuri and Kangs rivers are rising, while those in the Gomti, Halda, Feni, Selonia and Sangu rivers are falling. The declining trend may continue for another day, although water levels could rise slightly afterward.
Water levels in the Surma and Kushiyara rivers are also falling but may see a slight increase toward the end of the third day.
