Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (AFP) May 7, 2009 – An acute drought in Brazil has hit the famed horseshoe-shaped Igauzu falls which straddle two countries, cutting back the tumbling waters to reveal the rocky sides. Only a third of the usual volume of water is now flowing over the top of the stunning falls, which were listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1984 and border both Brazil and Argentina, Globo television said. … Southern Brazil has been hit by its worst drought in 80 years, leading authorities to declare a state of emergency in some areas, while the usually arid northeast of the country is suffering from floods.
