Today´s Average Water Levels:
in Dry-Zone S. West
in Dry-Zone N. West
Guess work
Water levels stabilized and slightly rising on the Negro River in the Santa Isabel area, drainage of the Roçado (Tapurucuara – see graph below). Levels are stable in the Negro in the Barcelos area, drainage of the Jufaris and Xeruini which presents a lower level than the Jufaris. The Roçado (Dry-Zone S.West) fishery is expected to maintain good fishing conditions in the coming week, as well as the Jufaris and Xeruini fisheries in Dry-Zone N. West
NOTE the red line are 2018 water levels, the light blue strip is the 15 to 85% probability, the dotted line is the median and the yellow line is the historic 1980 minimum, which indicates that today´s lower water levels should have occurred earlier
Quarterly forecast for Dec. Jan, Feb. shows below normal rainfall expectations for Dry-Zone N. West and East, we are alert monitoring the dry-zones to determine the best available water levels for the rest of the season.
Steady rain episodes are expected for the coming days, water levels might rise a bit (see above)
