Trujillo Authorities have not learned from previous El Niño

Trujillo was severely damaged during the El Niño of 1983-1984, and even more in 1998, where the backwaters in streams by the constant rains swept Cemetery Stonework, digging up coffins that uncovered some skeletons. The waters of the Quebrada de San Ildefonso overflowed even into the Plaza de Armas with mud and all sorts of rubbish.

However, to say the biologist and environmental specialist, Carlos Bocanegra García, despite the impact that this meant the regional and local authorities have not learned the lesson.

"After the above weather events should worry about for years and do studies and Trujillo project to provide a system of drains to channel water from the rains, as a result of rainfall keeps our city several points He said.

DESCOLMATAR RIVER

Bocanegra García considered that at the approach of the summer rains begin desilting is a priority of the Moche River in a comprehensive way and not in some points. This river is currently filled with garbage and precipitation will increase its volume by dragging these wastes into the sea, causing more pollution.

On the other hand, expressed his concern for the families who have built their homes after having invaded areas near creeks and San Ildefonso, The Lion, Rio Seco. "These families would be very vulnerable to the arrival of El Niño with abundant rainfall. They can damage not only material but also on their physical integrity "He warned.
