DHAKA, July 7, 2025 (BSS)- Water levels at 48 river stations monitored by Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) have marked rise while 48 stations recorded fall.

Among the 119 monitored river stations, water levels at nine 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 currently flowing below the danger level and the water levels of the Brahmaputra-Jamuna rivers are stable; over the next 1 day, water levels of these rivers are likely to remain steady, and during the subsequent 4 days (08 to 12 July), the water levels mayrise. However, the rivers are expected to flow below the danger level, said the bulletin. 

The water level of the Ganges River is rising, which may continue over the next 5 days (07 to 12 July). On the other hand, the water level of the Padma River remains stable and is likely to continue for the next 3 days.

It may rise during the following 2 days (10 to 12 July). During this period, the rivers are expected to flow below the danger level.

The water level of the Surma River is falling, while the Kushiyara River remains stable and is flowing below the danger level. Over the next 3 days (07 to 10 July), water levels of these rivers are expected to remain steady. Moderate to moderately heavy rainfall is likely in this basin over the next 3 days.

In the Chattogram division, the water levels of the Sangu and Matamuhuri rivers are rising, while the waterlevel of the Halda River is falling. The water levels of the Sangu, Matamuhuri, and Halda rivers may rise over the next 2 days and remain steady on the following 1 day. However, they are expected to flow below the danger level. In this basin, heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely over the next 2 days and moderate to moderately heavy rainfall on the following 1 day, it added. 

Coastal rivers in the Barisal, Khulna, and Chattogram divisions are experiencing higher-than-normal tidal water levels, which may persist for the next 3 days. A low-pressure system persists over the northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas. In this basin, heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely over the next 2 days and moderate to moderately heavy rainfall on the following 1 day.
