Officials noted that continued heavy rainfall across parts of the country has significantly contributed to the increase in water volumes flowing into the river system.
The rise in levels has raised concern that low-lying areas along the Lower Tana River basin could experience flooding if the trend persists.
Residents have been urged to remain vigilant and take precautionary measures, including moving to safer ground where necessary.
The ministry also advised against crossing swollen rivers or attempting to navigate flooded areas, warning that such actions pose serious risks to life.
Local administrators and disaster response teams have been placed on high alert, with coordination efforts underway to ensure rapid response in the event of flooding.
Authorities are working closely with relevant agencies to monitor water levels and provide timely updates to affected communities.
The advisory comes amid ongoing rains being experienced in several regions, which have already led to cases of flooding and displacement in some parts of the country.
The Lower Tana River area has historically been prone to flooding during periods of heavy rainfall, making early warnings critical in reducing potential loss of life and property.
Officials emphasized the importance of community preparedness, urging residents to heed official communication and cooperate with local authorities.
They also called on leaders at the county level to support awareness campaigns and facilitate evacuation plans where necessary.
The ministry reiterated that emergency services remain on standby to respond to any incidents arising from the situation.
It also encouraged residents to report any signs of rising water levels or emerging risks to local authorities promptly.
Humanitarian agencies are expected to work alongside government teams to provide assistance should flooding occur. This includes the provision of relief supplies and support for displaced families.
