The Acre River's water level in Rio Branco has decreased to 9.90 meters, following over a week of excessive flooding above the alert level.
The Acre River in Rio Branco, Brazil, has receded to 9.90 meters as of Saturday morning, following 12 days where it exceeded the alert level of 10 meters. This rise began on March 9, primarily due to intense rainfall that is characteristic of the Amazonian winter. The local Civil Defense coordinator, Lieutenant Colonel Cláudio Falcão, has indicated that even though the river levels are dropping, the region should expect more rain in the coming days, albeit lighter than what has been experienced.
