Several rivers in Bihar, including the Kosi, Ganga, Bagmati, Gandak, Ghaghra, and Punpun, have breached danger or warning levels as of 30 August 2026, 10:00 AM IST.
The Central Water Commission (CWC) reports steady or rising water levels at key monitoring stations such as Kursela, Birpur, Sahibganj, Benibad, Lalganj, Darauli, and Sripalpur.

Impact & Risks

The elevated water levels pose risks of flooding in low-lying areas across districts such as Katihar, Supaul, Muzaffarpur, Vaishali, Siwan, and Patna. Communities near these rivers may face inundation, damage to property, and disruptions to daily life. Rising levels in the Punpun River are particularly concerning, as they could lead to further flooding in Patna and surrounding areas.
