Chihuahua water levels rise following recent rainfall

Recent rainfall in the central-southern region of Chihuahua, Mexico, has begun to replenish local water bodies and riverbeds. Light, intermittent precipitation has been recorded in areas such as Delicias, Saucillo, and La Cruz, providing beneficial moisture for soil and agricultural activities despite low accumulation levels.

The San Pedro and Conchos rivers are showing increased water levels after previously appearing nearly dry. The Rosetilla dam has seen a notable recovery, currently sitting just five meters below its overflow point.

According to the National Water Commission (Conagua), the La Boquilla dam received 41.36 million cubic meters during September due to runoff, rising 77 centimeters to reach 23.20 percent of its capacity. In contrast, the Francisco I. Madero dam experienced a decrease in storage, losing 10.23 million cubic meters and currently sitting at 48.90 percent capacity.
