“El Niño is just beginning; it will intensify between October and February,” warned an engineer from the Yacyretá power plant.

An engineer from the Yacyretá hydroelectric plant has issued a warning regarding the onset of the El Niño climate phenomenon. According to projections, the event is currently in its initial stages and is expected to intensify between October and February. This forecast anticipates a period of significantly elevated water levels across the rivers of the Plata Basin.

The warning highlights the potential for sustained hydrological impact in the region over the coming months. The expected intensification suggests that the basin will face increased water flow, necessitating attention to the management and monitoring of the river systems during this timeframe.
