Low flow on the Amazon

Photo: CORBIS

Fantastic photo. Or good photo of a fantastic stretch of the Amazon. Currently, the flow is low in the upper reaches:

At least six boats are stranded because of the lack of river flow over the past three weeks and several shipping companies have been forced to suspend service, leading to economic hardship in areas of Peru that depend on the Amazon for shipping. The drop has been caused by a lack of rain and high temperatures.
