Water level in Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers below alert mark, but precaution advised

Even though the water level and flow in the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers is below the alert level, people are advised to adopt high alertness. 

The Flood Forecasting Division of the Center of Hydrology and Water Resources Research said that river flow in the Bhote Koshi has decreased following the August 26 flood. However, authorities have urged people to remain alert and exercise caution. 

The Division stated in its flood forecast bulletin issued  today that there is a medium risk of flash flood as the flow of small rivers is likely to significantly rise in Taplejung, Sankhuwasabha, Solukhumbu, Khotang, Okhaldhunga, Ramechhap, Dolakha, Sindhupalchok, Kavrepalanchok, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Kathmandu, Dhading, Gorkha, Lamjung, and Dolpa and surrounding districts.

Similarly, the Division forecasted that the flow of small rivers in districts like Rukum East, Rukum West, Jajarkot, Darchula, Baitadi, Dadeldhura, Doti, Kailali, and Kanchanpur will increase significantly, with a medium risk of sudden flooding. 

Also, the flow of small rivers in Nuwakot and Rasuwa districts is expected to increase significantly, with a high possibility of sudden floods.
