The BIO-PLATEAUX project is co-financed by the European Union through the Interreg Amazon Cooperation Program. It aims at developing the sharing of data, information and experiences on water and biodiversity in aquatic environments between French Guiana, Brazil and Suriname, particularly in the two transboundary basins of the Oiapoque and Maroni rivers.
After a dry year in 2019 and a very dry first quarter of 2020, the hydrological situation in French Guiana moved closer to seasonal values in the second and third quarter of 2020.
This report presents the hydro-meteorological situation of the third quarter as well as rainfall and hydrology analyses.
