Today over 70 mm of rainfall occurred with a maximum intensity of nearly 20 mm/h (Miomote Amedas Station). This is relatively heavy rainfall for May, which on average receives 150 mm of precipitation for the whole month (average for 1981-2010). This month has received 162 mm to date. When we arrived at the gauging station the river stage was steady at around 1 m, which is too high to take a discharge measurement by the wading method.
A visit to Miomote Dam showed that there was a large spillway discharge. The photo below also shows the hydro-electric generating plant on the left.
