Chart showing the water level of the Amazon River on May 2, 2009

These charts are hard to read. The color code is

  • green, record high water level, Amazon River
  • red, record low water level, Amazon River
  • light yellow, average water level, Amazon River
  • blue, 2008 water level, Amazon River
  • yellow and black, 2009, as of May 2, Amazon River

May 2, 2009 is approximately half of a meter above average, and three quarters of a meter below the record for this date. My personal observation is the water level is well above the floor of the lower level of the Hunting and Fishing Club.
