Flood Risk in Small Rivers Remains High for Two Days
Summary
The Flood Forecasting Division says major rivers across Nepal remain below alert level, but small rivers in hilly and valley areas face flash flood risk for the next two days. Residents along riverbanks in several districts and provinces have been urged to stay cautious.
Key Points
- Water flow in the Kosi, Narayani, Bagmati, Karnali and Mahakali rivers is below the alert level, and tributaries of major rivers are also normal.
- Flash floods may occur in small rivers in hilly and valley areas, especially in several districts including Sankhuwasabha, Solukhumbu, Dolakha, Ramechhap and Sindhupalchok.
- Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, Gorkha, Lamjung, Dolpa, Rukum West and Jajarkot face a moderate risk of flash floods in small rivers.
- The flood risk in small rivers is expected to remain for the next two days, with possible sudden rises in flow in all seven provinces.
