Ganges and Surma-Kushiyara River Levels Set to Rise as Jamuna Recedes: FFWC Bulletin
Hydrological monitoring along major river basins in Bangladesh shows all rivers remaining below danger levels.

All major river systems in Bangladesh are currently flowing safely below their respective danger marks, though water levels in the Ganges and northeastern Surma-Kushiyara rivers are expected to rise over the next two to three days due to localized and upstream light-to-moderate rainfall, according to the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC).

In its daily hydrological update released on Saturday (October 3, 2026), the FFWC detailed water level trends across the country's primary river basins. Water levels in the Brahmaputra-Jamuna system receded over the past 24 hours; the Brahmaputra is projected to fall for two days before stabilizing, while the Jamuna will continue receding for three days before holding steady. In contrast, the Ganges recorded a rise over the last 24 hours and is expected to climb further over the next three days before stabilizing. The Padma River maintained stable water levels, a trend expected to persist over the next five days. In the northern region, the Teesta, Dharla, and Dudhkumar rivers showed falling trends; the Teesta and Dudhkumar are forecast to remain stable over the next three days, while the Dharla will decline for two days before stabilizing. Northeastern rivers Surma and Kushiyara recorded rising trends, with further increases expected over the next two days before a projected decline on the third day.
