Brazilian Amazon waters recover after two years of drought
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Water levels in the Brazilian Amazon recovered in 2025 following two consecutive years of severe drought, but long-term prospects remain 'concerning,' a monitoring network said in a report published Tuesday.
After two years of severe drought, water levels in the world's largest river, the Amazon in Brazil, are rising, according to an organization.
Due to heavy rainfall, the levels of Brazilian Amazonian rivers, lakes and water bodies were 2.6% higher in 2025 than the historical average, according to the MapBiomas network. However, researchers remain concerned about some biomes, such as the Pantanal.
After two years of severe drought, the Amazon's water level rose in 2025, but the outlook is uncertain.
