Overview
- Multiple Prefectura hydrometers recorded evacuation levels on Monday, with Paso de la Patria and Corrientes city above their local evacuation marks and authorities conducting active evacuations.
- The National Water Institute issued a multi-day outlook that says the Paraná is likely to keep rising over the next roughly 15 days between Santa Fe and Rosario, which could bring new alert thresholds downstream.
- Producers in San Javier and other river islands are mobilizing to remove about 15,000 head of cattle and have already swum or barged out thousands of animals as high water cuts pasture access.
- Farmers and local groups report severe transport shortages and paperwork delays, noting limited barge capacity and the urgent need to fast-track SENASA sanitary transit permits to move livestock safely.
- Operators opened 18 gates at the Yacyretá reservoir, which boosted downstream flow and has contributed to road and bridge interruptions in Misiones and the evacuation of island families, so officials are watching shelter capacity and transport bottlenecks next.
