          Return of water in Lake Guaíba (Usina do Gasologista)

          In Porto Alegre, Brazil, on April 6, 2024, the water levels are dropping, revealing the chaos that has taken place where the waters have taken over. One of these places is the Usina do Gasologo, a tourist site and leisure spot for Porto Alegre residents who frequent the area to rest. Bars on its shores are closed due to flooding, with a lot of destruction and many things still underwater. However, with the water returning to its original point, this postcard view will soon be back for the people to enjoy their sunset. (Photo by Diego Pires Jonko/Thenews2/NurPhoto)
