On September 12, 2026 Alert 3 Imminent

ALERT 3 — Critical transition reached / confirmation pending.
Sentinel-2 observations indicate that by 12 September 2026 the water/no-water boundary had reached the critical ALERT 3 branch-inlet location. Joint-population analysis classifies A16 as NO-WATER while A17 remains WATER, consistent with the shoreline lying approximately across the critical detector pair. The next suitable satellite observation will determine whether the waterline has moved beyond the critical inlet and confirm ALERT 3.

The similar pixel based waterline check suggests the flow at the Nyaluhangu river section virtual flow station, is not yet critical (Alert3).

For high resolution of the comparable river flow visit here. The current flow will be monitored and latest update is shown in images below.

The waterline related pixels indicate inside or outside the ruver channel indicate the reaching of Alert3 which according to unauthorative flow data is in the range of 8cumecs

A closer look at the water line (reference pixels) in August 18, 2026 shows the critical water line (Alert3) has not yet been reached by retreating water channel.
