DHAKA, June 17, 2025 (BSS) - Water levels at 39 river stations monitored by 
Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) have marked rise while 75 
stations recorded fall.

Among the 119 monitored river stations, water levels at four 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, read the bulletin. 

Water levels of the Muhuri, Halda, and Gomti rivers in the Chattogram 
Division are rising. There is a possibility of moderate to heavy rainfall on 
Day 1 and heavy to very heavy rainfall on Days 2 and 3 in the basins of the 
Gomti, Muhuri, Feni, Sangu, and Matamuhuri rivers. Water levels of these 
rivers may continue to rise over the next 3 days; within the next 72 hours, 
the Muhuri River in Feni district may flow at the warning level.

The water level of the Sarigoyain River in the Sylhet Division is rising, 
although it is still flowing below the danger level. This basin is expected 
to receive moderate to heavy rainfall on Day 1, and moderate-heavy to very 
heavy rainfall on Days 2 and 3. The water level of this river may continue to 
rise over the next 3 days. Within the next 72 hours, the Sarigoyain River in 
Sylhet district, the Jadukata River in Sunamganj district, and the Someswari 
River in Netrokona district may flow at the warning level, added the 
statement. 

The water levels of the Surma-Kushiyara rivers are rising and may continue to 
do so for the next 3 days, though they are expected to remain below the 
danger level. Moderate to heavy rainfall is likely in the basin over the next 
1 day, and moderate-heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected on days 2 and 3.

The water level of the Teesta River is rising but still flowing below the 
danger level. This condition may remain stable for the next 2 days, and 
increase on the 3rd day.

The water levels of the Brahmaputra-Jamuna Rivers are decreasing. This trend 
is expected to continue for the next 1 day, remain steady on days 2 and 3, 
and then start rising again over the following 2 days. However, they are 
expected to remain below the danger level throughout.

The water levels of the Ganges-Padma Rivers are stable and are expected to 
remain so for the next 5 days, continuing to flow below the danger 
level.
