The Amazon rainforest in Brazil is facing severe drought and historically low water levels. Thousands of people may also face a shortage of fish stock, according to the authorities.
Boys walk next to a floating home stranded on what used to be the water´s edge of the Negro River during a drought in Manaus, Brazil, on Sept. 26, 2023., on Tuesday to meet with representatives of the federal government. Lima spoke with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to discuss the drought.f
The different levels of government will"coordinate measures in support of the people living in the affected municipalities," Lima said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday.Fifteen municipalities were in a state of emergency on Tuesday, while 40 others were on a state of alert, the civil defense authority said.
According to the port of Manaus, which monitors water levels, the river stood at 55 feet on Tuesday, around 20 feet below the same day last year. The lowest level of water was recorded on Oct. 24, 2010, when the river dropped to about 45 feet.The drought is forecast to last longer and be more intense because of El Niño climate phenomenon, which inhibits the formation of rain clouds, the civil defense authority said.
Climate change exacerbates droughts by making them more frequent, longer and more severe. Warmer temperatures enhance evaporation, which reduces surface water and dries out soils and vegetation.
