With the arrival of the rainy season, Fear is increasing among the inhabitants of the southern Atlantic as a result of rising levels in the Canal del Dique.
According to IDEAM reports, currently the San Pedrito station, in Suan, two days ago the levels were at 6.17 meters, and this Tuesday they reached 6.23 meters, increasing more than 5 centimeters in 24 hours.
Jesús Castro, a resident near the Canal del Dique, says that they fear the increase in river levels and referred to the delay in mitigation works.
“As a resident of the area, one realizes that the river levels have increased, and the problem is that a mitigation process has not begun, and We have not seen progress on the Canal del Dique project either,” he said.

Ideam predicts that Heavy rains will continue in the Atlantic, especially in Barranquilla, due to the passage of two tropical waves through the Caribbean Sea. There are also warnings of possible overflowing of streams and landslides in municipalities of the department.
The Institute indicated that drunk at the passage of the tropical waves that pass through the Caribbean, precisely through San Andrés and Providencia, and another that is entering Venezuela, this can continue to generate precipitation in the region, specifically in the Atlantic.
