Forecast from the Itaipu Binacional Special Flood Commission
The Paraná River level is expected to fall about three meters by Saturday (31) in Foz do Iguaçu, according to the Itaipu Binacional Special Flood Commission. The measurement will be taken at the Friendship Bridge station, between Foz do Iguaçu and Ciudad del Este.
The forecast indicates that the Paraná River level will go from the current 117 meters to 114.3 meters above sea level at the measurement station located on the Friendship Bridge, which connects Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) to Ciudad del Este (Paraguay).
The drop is linked to the reduced flow of the Iguaçu River and the control of water release by the Itaipu hydroelectric plant. After reaching a peak of 16 million liters per second on October 25, the flow is expected to decrease to roughly 6 million liters per second on Friday, October 30.
