The Uruguay River continues to rise, increasing concern in Corrientes and Entre Ríos: a peak is expected within the next 10 days.

The Uruguay River continues to rise, causing growing concern in the coastal provinces of Corrientes and Entre Rios in the Argentine littoral region. The flooding and rising water levels are attributed to the effects of El Niño, which have begun to cause havoc in the affected coastal cities.

Local authorities are currently putting emergency response plans into action, having prepared for the weather phenomenon months in advance. Forecasters expect the river levels to reach a peak within the next ten days, keeping regional populations and municipal administrations on high alert.
