The Municipal Civil Defense Board and the COE report that:
The report issued by the Hydrology Department of the Mixed Technical Commission of Salto Grande in the early afternoon of this Thursday anticipates that until 3:00 PM tomorrow "the flow discharged at the Salto Grande Binational Complex will vary between 15,000 and 17,500 m³/s. The maximum water levels at the ports of Concordia and Salto will not exceed 11.20 and 11.40 meters, respectively. The reservoir level will tend towards 33.50 meters".
These values determine a situation similar to previous days; consequently, the same work scheme is maintained for the Civil Defense teams and the COE, which is already operating in the Situation Room installed at the Concordia Convention Center.
Likewise, it is reported that the pumping systems in the South Defense are operating normally and that in recent days, cleaning and obstruction removal tasks have been intensified in the drainage canal network of the Manzores stream and surrounding areas.
On the other hand, different municipal areas (Tourism, Urban Development, Public Services, etc.) are working on the design of an intervention scheme to mitigate potential damages that would be caused by the persistence of high river levels over the coming months, responding to the evolution of the El Niño phenomenon.
Finally, the importance of avoiding unnecessary travel in flooded areas is reiterated.
