The plan is providing, gradually along 2024, additional 65 million cubic meters to Poechos Reservoir, the largest of Peru.   LANCONÉS, Peru – Chira-Piura Special Project (PECHP by its initials in Spanish) plans to rise the operation height of Poechos Reservoir, the largest of Peru, until 105.5 meters (346.2 feet) altitude along 2024. In that sense, it will evaluate, based upon a filling plan, to take the decision for holding that height as the top operation level in the next years.   This Will allow Poechos to increase about 65 million cubic meters  (17 million gallons) of water not making an additional investment in infrastructure, built initially in 1972 and started in 1976, to store until 1 billion cubic meters. Because of sedimentation, this capability has been reduced in 55%.   The procedure was announced by PECHP’s President Victor Garrido Lecca Ramos, after holding coordination meetings with the National authority of Water’s (Ana, by its initials i...

LANCONÉS, Peru – Poechos reservoir is only capable to contain 42% of its original capability. Chira-Piura Special Project (PECHP as in Spanish)’s director eugenio Tadeo Ramos revealed that the sediments raise 520 million cubic meters. A little lower than the half of the whole matter erupted by the broken out volcano at La Palma Island (Spain) in September 2021.   The reservoir, built since 1972 and starting operations four years later, was conceived to contain until 880 million cubic meters, with an option to enlarge until 1 billion cubic meters, of water. Its purpose was irrigating Chira and Piura Valleys, that form the most lowlands of Piura Department – its impact area includes five of its eight provinces.   Poechos is the largest artificial lake in Peru, that has full by sediment in almost half-a-century of operations due to deforestation at Catamayo Basin (Ecuador) and the massive water overloads caused by heavy rains during El Niño events in 1983 and 1998. ...

What does it happen underneath the nearby soil of Sullana Metropolitan Area?   By Nelson Peñaherrera Castillo | Blog | Twitter | Instagram | WhatsApp     MIGUEL CHECA, peru – Nothing unusual underneath the soil of Chira Valley but a huge land mass embedding under another apparently static. That’s how the report by Hernando Tavera and Julio Martínez with Peru’s Geophysical Institute (IGP as its initials in Spanish) might be briefed after the 6.1-magnitude quake (moderate) that shook a 155-mile area around a hypocenter 21 miles under a spot 11 miles to the west of Sullana 20101 , on October 5 th , 2022.   The epicenter was located between the towns of Sojo and Jíbito, Miguel Checa District , that means between Sullana 20771 and Sullana 20770 . This fact is relevant for the scientists because it trembled amid the continent, not under the sea, like it indeed has happened in events with magnitudes upper than 7.5, mostly reported at Peruvian Southern ...

It’s a key axis joining agriculture and commerce, until summer rains become it impassable.   By Nelson Peñaherrera Castillo   Overload in San Francisco Creek, between Sectors Palominos and Malingas (Tambograndé District) during a rainy summer. (Photos by David Dominguez / El tambograndino Noticias / file).   Tambograndé-Chulucanas Road is a show anytime through the year. The sky can be white, gray, light blue sky with a burning Sun. But on the land, dismissing the black asphalt, all green tones dance in a messy, tender choreography. Officially, the PI-107 way is 27 miles counted from óvalo del Campesino (Farmer’s Circus), Tambograndé City ( Piura Province ), toOrozco Falla Park, Chulucanas City ( Morropón Province ). Many applications calculate the trip takes about 50 minutes as much, of course, if you go on your own transportation. The rest of mortals must be two transshipment at least. The first one in Malingas , 9 miles and 17 minutes tripping. The s...
