The worst drought on record has lowered the water level of the rivers in the Amazon basin to historic lows, in some cases drying up riverbeds that were previously navigable waterways. The Solimoes, one of the main tributaries of the mighty Amazon River whose waters originate in the Peruvian Andes, has fallen to its lowest level on record in Tabatinga, the Brazilian town on the border with Colombia. Downriver in Tefé, a branch of the Solimoes has dried up completely, as seen by Reuters reporters who flew over the river on Tuesday.

STORY: Three Portuguese firefighters died on Tuesday while battling one of the numerous wildfires sweeping through central and northern parts of the country.It raised the death toll from the recent blazes to seven since Saturday, according to authorities.Portugal is fighting over 50 active wildfires on its mainland and has mobilized around 5,300 firefighters, as well as calling for European Union help.Here is EU Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen."Portugal has triggered the civil protection mechanism, this is basically the solidarity of all of Europe to support as much as possible in kind at the moment of being of crisis the member state."Authorities have closed several motorways and suspended train connections on two railroad lines in northern Portugal.In Aveiro alone, the blazes have burned through more than 24,000 acres (10,000 hectares) of forest and scrubland in the past two days, officials said.The Aveiro fires could engulf a further 49,000 acres (20,000 hectares), ANEPC civil protection authority commander Andre Fernandes said late on Monday.Prime Minister Luis Montenegro told reporters on Monday night that the country is going to have "difficult hours" in the coming days and that it needs to be ready for it.Portugal and neighboring Spain have recorded fewer fires than usual after a rainy start to the year.Both remain vulnerable to the increasingly hot and dry conditions that scientists have blamed on global warming.Temperatures topped 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) across the country over the weekend, when the fires first broke out and were fanned by strong winds. The meteorology agency IPMA forecasts they would stay above 30 C (86 F) for the next two days, amid extremely low humidity.The danger of fires will remain 'high, very high or maximum' in the northern and central regions, it said.
STORY: ::September 17, 2024::The worst drought on record has left Amazon rivers at historic lows, with some completely dried up::Amazonas, BrazilRomulo Batista/Spokesperson/Greenpeace “We are going through a critical year. Last year was already the hottest year in the last 125,000 years. This year several months have broken last year's records. We've seen floods not only in Brazil, but around the world, droughts and a lot of fires here in the Amazon, in the Serrado, in the Pantanal and around the world. Climate change is no longer something to worry about in the future, ten or twenty years from now, it's here and it's here with much more force than we expected.”The Solimoes, one of the main tributaries of the mighty Amazon River whose waters from the Peruvian Andes, has fallen to its lowest-ever level in Tabatinga, the Brazilian town on the border with Colombia.Downriver in Tefe, a branch of the Solimoes has dried up completely, as seen from a helicopter by Reuters reporters on Monday (September 17).The nearby Lake Tefe, where more than 200 freshwater dolphins died in last year's drought, has also dried up, depriving the endangered pink mammals of a favourite habitat."We are going through a critical year, last year was already the hottest year in the last 125,000 years, this year several months have broken last year's records," said Greenpeace spokesperson Romulo Batista, pointing to the riverbed of the branch of the Solimoes turned to mounds of sand.The second consecutive year of critical drought has parched much of Brazil's vegetation and caused wildfires across the South American nations, cloaking cities in clouds of smoke.
