Water levels across all major river systems in Bangladesh—including the Brahmaputra-Jamuna, Ganges-Padma, Surma-Kushiyara, as well as northern tributaries Teesta, Dharla, and Dudhkumar—have shown a marked decline over the last 24 hours and are currently flowing safely below their respective danger levels.
According to a bulletin issued on Tuesday (October 13, 2026) by Assistant Engineer Emon Kalyan Das, duty officer at the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) under the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB), the receding water trend is expected to persist across all river basins over the next three to five days. Specifically, water levels in the major Brahmaputra-Jamuna and Ganges-Padma basins are projected to steadily decrease over the next five days, while northeastern rivers (Surma and Kushiyara) and northern rivers (Teesta, Dharla, and Dudhkumar) are forecasted to continue receding over the next three days.
Meanwhile, meteorological forecasts indicate light to moderate rainfall across domestic river basins and adjoining upstream territories over the next three days. Furthermore, meteorologists are closely monitoring the Southeast Bay of Bengal and adjacent areas, where a new low-pressure system is expected to form within the next 24 hours.
