The Min­istry of Rur­al De­vel­op­ment and Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment, in col­lab­o­ra­tion with key na­tion­al agen­cies, has is­sued a Riv­er Lev­el Ad­vi­so­ry as of 1:30 PM on Sat­ur­day, May 18, 2025.

The ad­vi­so­ry, which in­cludes da­ta pro­vid­ed by the Wa­ter Re­sources Agency, the Of­fice of Dis­as­ter Pre­pared­ness and Man­age­ment (ODPM), and oth­er part­ners, high­lights vary­ing riv­er ca­pac­i­ties across the coun­try.

The re­port shows that sev­er­al rivers are near­ing or above 60% ca­pac­i­ty, prompt­ing in­creased mon­i­tor­ing. The Ca­roni Riv­er at Bam­boo Set­tle­ment #3 is cur­rent­ly at 71% ca­pac­i­ty, while Ca­roni Tumpuna and Cunu­pia Riv­er stand at 72% and 68% ca­pac­i­ty re­spec­tive­ly. El Car­men, al­so lo­cat­ed along the Ca­roni Riv­er, is at 66%, and the Manuel Con­go Riv­er is at 63%.
