The flood situation is improving in Bangladesh

The flood situation in Bangladesh shows improvement, with river water levels significantly declining.

The decline is particularly noticeable in the major rivers of the north-eastern, Eastern, and South-Eastern regions, which bring relief.

The Flood Forecasting and Warning Center released this information in a notification on Wednesday.

According to the Flood Information Center, minimal rainfall has occurred in the eastern Comilla, Brahmanbaria, and Feni districts, located near the Indian Tripura border and the interior basin of Tripura province, in the past 24 hours.

The water levels of the upstream rivers have also declined noticeably. The flood situation in the lower areas of Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Feni, Comilla, and Chittagong districts has shown improvement since Wednesday and is still ongoing.

Based on the weather forecast, heavy rainfall is unlikely to occur in the north-eastern region of the country and surrounding uplands within the next 24 hours.

Currently, the water levels of the Manu, Khoai, and Dhalai rivers may decrease in the northeast region of the Moulvibazar and Habiganj districts. The low-lying flood conditions in these areas may continue to improve.

There are no signs of heavy rainfall in the country's southeastern, eastern, and surrounding areas in the next 24 hours.

However, the water levels of rivers such as Muhuri, Feni, Gomti, and Halda may decrease in the Feni, Comilla, and Chittagong districts.

As a result, the flood situation in the surrounding low-lying areas may improve further.

The water levels of the Brahmaputra-Yamuna River have declined noticeably.

Meanwhile, the Ganga-Padma River has not significantly changed, and this stability is expected to persist for the next 48 hours.

The water level of the Surma-Kushiara River in the north-eastern part of the country is gradually decreasing. It is expected to continue decreasing for the next 24 hours.

The waters of the Teesta, Dharla, and Dudhkumar rivers in the northern part of the country remain relatively consistent.

The rivers are expected to return to their normal flow within 48 hours.
