More rains are coming after the rise of the Neuquén River caused by the storm that struck the north of Neuquén and affected the Alto Valle, especially Centenario and Vista Alegre. The Interjurisdictional Basin Authority (AIC) announced more rainfall since Sunday, but the greater concern is placed in the second half of July.
The representative of Neuquén in the AIC, Elías Sapag, explained that the flood peak is not subsiding as fast as expected. He warned that they are occupying two meters of the estimated flood line, which must be empty, so they began to discharge water from the reservoirs into the river.
He clarified that he understands the situation of the municipalities, especially Vista Alegre, and that is why the line is respected and no more downloading. On Wednesday it was decided to divert part of the flow from the Ballester dam to the irrigation canal.

For the moment, the AIC published that on Sunday a new frontal system enters that “will cause rain and snowfall in the three basins, of weak to moderate intensity».
