Following a single day of stability, the water levels in the Brahmaputra-Jamuna and Padma tributaries are once again on the rise on Wednesday.
The Someshwari River was already rising, but now there is an increase in the water levels of the Khowai and Dhalai rivers as well, sparking fears of potential flooding in the regions of Lalmonirhat and Nilphamari.
Meanwhile, other rivers in the northeast are seeing falling water levels, potentially stabilizing the flood situation in Netrokona's low-lying areas.
According to the Flood Forecast and Warning Centre (FFWC), the waters of the rivers linked to the Brahmaputra-Jamuna-Padma are rising and could continue to do so for the next 48 hours.
In contrast, water levels in the major rivers of the northeast, except Khowai, Someshwari and Dhalai, are declining and this trend may persist for the next 48 hours.
Over the next 24 hours, the flood situation in Netrokona's low-lying areas could remain stable.
However, the Dhalai River at the Kamalganj point may temporarily cross the danger level.
The Teesta River at the Dalia point may also exceed the danger level within the next 24 hours, potentially leading to short-term flooding in some low-lying areas of Lalmonirhat and Nilphamari.
Out of 109 water level stations under the FFWC's observation, water levels have risen at 72 stations, decreased at 35, and remained unchanged at 2.
Water levels at 2 stations have exceeded the danger level, leading to floods in 2 districts.
Water levels of the Surma River in Sunamganj and the old Surma River at the Derai point have dropped below the danger level.
Conversely, the Someshwari River in Netrokona's Kalmakanda is above the danger level by 26 metres. The Khowai River at Balla point has newly risen beyond the danger level by 36 metres.
