Severe drought dries up rivers in Brazil’s Amazon | DW News

A severe drought in northern Brazil is drying up riverbeds, with some areas of the Amazon completely dry. Local fishermen are struggling to make a living.

Using satellite image analysis, Brazilian environmental institute MapBiomas revealed in June that the Amazon and Pantanal regions were "facing a serious reduction in water."

The Amazon rainforest experienced a historic drought from June to November 2023, driven by low rainfall and consistent high temperatures. But the Pantanal biome dried up the most in 2023, recording a 61 percent decrease compared to the 1985 historical average.

Climate change is to blame for the increasing frequency and severity of the droughts.
