Overview
- The slide, recorded Wednesday in the Santa Ana sector, clogged the Siguas River and sent water onto nearby fields.
- A preliminary farm survey counted at least 10 hectares lost, with 14 more swamped by an impounded pool that could break and flood new plots.
- Six small producers saw figs and staple crops destroyed, cutting into family income that depends on each harvest.
- Regional agencies sent heavy machinery and fuel to clear the channel and reopen the road, and a drone survey will map the worst damage.
- Officials reported no injuries as COER kept the area under watch, noting the valley’s history of slide activity tied to seepage from intensive irrigation, including the Majes-Siguas project.
