These photos shows up the changes on water level in Jurumirim Dam. This difference could be related to the rainfall and water level variations. Water level are significantly higher in April-July and lower in November-February. In last July we had heavy rainfall, therefore the high water level in Jurumirim Dam. Estas fotos mostram as alterações do nível da água na Represa Jurumirim. Os níveis da água são significativamente mais altos entre os meses de Abril e Julho e mais baixos entre Novembro e Fevereiro. No mês de Julho último, tivemos muita chuva na região, o que ocasionou um maior nível da água na Represa Jurumirim.
Photo taken by my son Fernando in 2004.That red arrow pointed to the stonewall at the beach shows the low level of the water in Jurumirim Dam and on the picture below, you can see the high level of the water. Esta flexa vermelha apontando para a mureta de pedras na praia mostra o baixo nível a que chegou a água na Represa Jurumirim. Na foto abaixo você pode ver como o nível da água está alto.
With the high level of the water, my daughter Sofia can to climb up on the stonewall. She had a lot of fan! Com o alto nível da água minha filha Sofia pôde subir na mureta de pedras e se divertiu muito! 
Photos taken by Carlos A. Mascaro. Those photos of the high level of the water were taken last weekend near at our house.

A usina Jurumirim foi a segunda a ser construída para o aproveitamento hidrelétrico do Paranapanema, representando um importante passo para o desenvolvimento em toda a área de influência do rio. Sua estrutura permite a geração de 98 MW para o sistema energético brasileiro. O nível dos reservatórios, mais conhecido como energia armazenada, indica o estoque de energia disponível na forma de água armazenada nos reservatórios das usinas. A Represa Jurumirim conta com um reservatório de 449km2 de extensão, banhando uma região de grande desenvolvimento econômico e incentivando práticas esportivas, de lazer e turismo.

Assim se anda sobre as águas!
Bjs e parabéns ao Carlos.
global warming in paradise! Or does the water always fluctuate this much in the summer?
ReplyDeleteSonia, I've very much enjoyed these serene and picturesque landscapes. You live in an amazing place! It's interesting the change of water level, your nice daughter seems to have a lot of amusement indeed!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :-)
That's a huge difference in the water level! Last year we had some water restrictions as water levels in the lakes dropped, but this year we have had a lot of rain and so there is water enough for watering the grass and washing the cars!
ReplyDeleteSonia, que fotos lindas e pitorescas. Aquela com a moldura de folhas está divina e as que mostram sua filha "andando sobre as aguas" muito lindas e originais!
ReplyDeleteLindo post que nos permite de saber mais sobre o regime e as cidades vizinhas desta barragem.
Um grande beijo.
Sônia,

ReplyDeleteSonia,
ReplyDeletesuas vistas alegram meu coração. Pane no computador por duas vezes. Perdí todos os meus contatos. Ando sem cabeça e sem tempo. Tente o meugeniarfranco@gmail.com.
Beijos e obrigada pelo contato via Sílvia. Tenho passado por aqui, me lembrado de você. Mas acabo tendo de interromper minhas atividades no pc por algum motivo.
Beijos!
Sonia, yes, "Walk on water" is an appropriate title for this beautiful post! :-)
ReplyDeleteSonia,
ReplyDeleteE esse maravilhoso paraíso, posso confirmar se as palmeiras estão na foto Hyophorbe
Un abrazo.
Sonia que imagens lindas.
ReplyDeleteMuito importante suas observações em respeito a Represa Jurumirim.
Sua filha "andando sobre as águas", transmite alegria, momentos de felicidade e descontração. Ela deve ser uma ótima nadadora heim?
Beijoo
All are beautiful photos. I love the ones of your daughter "walking on water"!
ReplyDeleteMy first visit to you and I'll be back - the flowers below are beautiful also.
Wow! That is quite a difference in the water level between summer and winter. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteWe have reservoirs filled by the snow melt from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and they vary greatly in water level, too
WOW, u are walking on the water, thats great, very nice serie of pictures for SWF.
ReplyDeleteHave a great walking over the water weekend!!
Greetings from NL
Beautiful pictures, Sonia. It really does look as though Sofia is walking on water!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how the water levels change. Great pictures of your daughter too!
ReplyDeleteThere is a lake in the southwest US called Lake Mead. I recall visiting this lake five or six years ago and being surprised at the visible water lines and docks that no longer came close to the water's edge. They say that overuse of this water will cause the lake to completely dry up by 2021.
Beautiful photos and nice place to unwind.
ReplyDeleteHello Sonia !
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful beach !
In Carabean see we can sleep on the water because of salt.
I walk not on but in the water to eliminate the good food and Rhum...
Makes me want to go for a swim!
ReplyDeleteSonia, adorei as fotos da sua filha andando na água!!! muito legais. E que lugar lindo? nao conhecia.
ReplyDeleteValeu pelo comentário lá no blog. Como sempre me encheu de energia!! Vc é um doce.

Sonia, many thanks for your always nice comments. About your question on my post, the avenue of the monument is empty because the photo was taken in the week of Ferragosto (15-22 August) in which Turin is almost deserted!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week ahead!
There is quite a difference in the height of the water. Thanks for this I really enjoyed seeing these photos. Excellent photos of your daughter.

Que legal essa foto sobre a água! Se não tivesse mostrado a mureta, estaria encabulada! (rs*) Beijus
ReplyDeleteThat is of course the prupose with a dam, to keep the water when it comes and let i go when needed. As long as the highs and the lows are not exceeding what you show, I guess you can just be happy about it! Sofia seems to take some (limited) risks! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be working and answer the needs.
ReplyDeleteDream pictures for us who are living in a desert...
i would give 1000 dollars to sit on the beach in your banner shot. heaven
ReplyDeleteOh but to bee on that beach, how lovely. Your girl, she looks like she is walking on water, very interesting pictures. Have a lovely week my friend.
ReplyDeleteIt looks more a sea than a dam, with beautiful beach too!
