Published Aug 16, 2026 · 787 Daily · Original analysis

Day 9 of the metro rotation. This morning’s 5:00 chart from the Autoridad de Acueductos y Alcantarillados shows Carraízo at 37.82 meters — down 3 centimeters from yesterday, and La Plata at 45.88 meters — down 7 centimeters from yesterday.

This is the sixth entry in our daily chart check (yesterday’s is here), built the same way every morning — from AAA’s own numbers, read off its charts for our reservoir board.

Carraízo: down 3 cm

Carraízo kept sliding. This morning’s chart puts it at 37.82 meters — down 3 centimeters from yesterday, in the ajustes band. The next line on the chart — into the control band — sits at 37.00 meters, 0.82 meters below this morning’s reading. At AAA’s printed pace that is roughly 27.3 days out (straight-line date: 2026-09-13 — a projection, not a forecast; one wet afternoon moves it).
