Second largest tributary in the Amazon river reaches lowest levels amid drought

The record shows that this part of the world’s largest rainforest is suffering its worst drought just a little over two years after its most significant flooding. The drought has also affected the commercial navigation that supplies Manaus, the largest city and capital of Amazonas, with about two million citizens. <br> <br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br>Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative. <br>Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RTnews <br>Follow us on Telegram: https://t.me/rtnews <br>Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/RT_com
