Categories: Latin America, Peru, Economics & Business, Environment, Indigenous

The blog Warmiboa [es] [1]shares its concern about hydroelectric project Corina, which would divert water from two rivers (Huallaga [2] and Marañón [3]) to the coast in order to irrigate the desert, causing “unpredictable consequences.” The blogger explains that this project would affect the people of Loreto [4], who suffer from a lack of water during the dry season.
