厄尔尼诺引发的洪水迫使阿根廷科连特斯省疏散 巴拉那河水位逼近警戒线

与厄尔尼诺现象相关的强降雨使阿根廷东北部、巴拉圭与乌拉圭的河流水位上涨,迫使多地居民疏散,农田与交通受扰。据美联社报道,在科连特斯省伊图萨因戈,巴拉那河水位于10月15日达到约4.7米。
阿根廷国家水文研究所(INA)报告称,伊图萨因戈的水位于10月16日达到4.81米,其水文报告警告说,巴拉那河部分河段的水位可能继续上涨,并有可能越过疏散阈值。科连特斯省当局已开挖排水渠,并为更多降雨作准备;牧场主已把牛群转移出被淹的牧场。
在河对岸的巴拉圭阿约拉斯,当地官员报告已有2000多人被疏散。高水位还影响了伊瓜苏瀑布的通行;亚西雷塔水电站综合体已暂停参观,并在此期间限制伊图萨因戈与阿约拉斯之间的通行,当局将视情况重新评估。
各监测站的水位读数因站点与时点不同而有所差异。当局提醒计划前往该地区的旅客,先查阅官方最新通告。(GSM 据美联社及阿根廷国家水文研究所数据报道)
El Niño Flooding Forces Evacuations in Argentina's Corrientes Province
Heavy rainfall associated with El Niño has pushed rivers higher across northeastern Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, forcing evacuations and disrupting farms and travel. In Ituzaingó, in Argentina's Corrientes province, the Paraná River reached about 4.7 metres on October 15, according to the Associated Press.
Argentina's National Water Institute (INA) reported a level of 4.81 metres at Ituzaingó on October 16 and warned that levels in sections of the Paraná could continue rising and potentially cross evacuation thresholds. Authorities in Corrientes have been digging drainage channels and preparing for additional rainfall, while ranchers have moved cattle away from flooded pastures.
In Ayolas, Paraguay, across the river from Ituzaingó, local officials reported more than 2,000 people evacuated. High water has affected access at Iguazú Falls, and the Yacyretá hydroelectric complex suspended visits and restricted the crossing between Ituzaingó and Ayolas during the high-water period, subject to reassessment.
