Overview
- Cointzio stands near 98% of its rainy-season operating level (about 50.42 million m³), equal to roughly 70–74% of total capacity, leaving room for about 18 million m³.
- OOAPAS says Cointzio had not begun releasing as of Tuesday and reports Morelia is prepared following drainage cleanups and interagency coordination.
- Conagua plans a modest initial flow of around 5 m³/s, and the Río Grande is reported at roughly 30–50% capacity, which authorities say can handle that volume.
- Tepuxtepec is at about 99.58% storage, and operator Generadora Fénix was instructed to start a preventive release with civil-protection and irrigation users notified downstream.
- Short-term rainfall of 25–50 mm will determine the timing of any Cointzio discharge, and officials reference September 2024 flooding during 30–40 m³/s releases as context for caution.
