The Monday 9th June 2014 , happen the biggest flood at Iguassu River.

The Iguassu Falls got 31 times more water than the average volume.

I have seeing a few floods since working in the Park , at 2005 was the highest 18500 cubic meters per second, at 2013 we had a big one with 17000. The average volume at the Iguassu falls is about 1500 or 9434 barrels per second. The top of the flood the volume was 47300 cubic meter per second around 297508 barrels per second.

At 7th June at 9:00 AM the volume was 2830 M³/second , at 8th same time was 5560 M³/second and at 9th same time 45700 M³/second. The 24hs from 8th to 9th was amazing the amount of water.
