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 have also risen a bit in the Negro in the Barcelos area, drainage of the Jufaris and Xeruini. 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
Some significant rain episodes are expected for the coming days, improving towards the weekend (see above)
