For now, there are no families affected yet, but the water is already advancing towards some neighborhoods, especially those located in flooded regions. “It’s been raining a lot in Santa Rosa, practically every day. That’s exactly what we’re worried about,” commented Pelegrino.
In Esperança, a region of Peru, the Purus River showed signs of low tide from yesterday to today. With this, the population of Santa Rosa expects that the decrease in water volume will also occur in the city of Acreana.
