Accompanied by officials from the Agrarian and Environmental Prosecutor's Office, officials from the environmental evaluation area of ​​Corpoguajira carried out a follow-up visit where they found damage to the natural route of the Tapias River basin..

The environmental authority detected that the banana company Inversiones MRS SAS, owner of Finca La Nazira, has a drainage channel on this site that in winter evacuates water from the property to the river and that this channel is being used as a collection point without the respective authorization from Corpoguajira..

For this adaptation, the banana company carried out a series of interventions on the riverbed like a jarillon (damming structure) on land and collecting the channel to facilitate the drainage of water towards the catchment without proper permission.

In addition, the risks that directly relate to the surrounding communities were identified., mainly with the way in which water resources are used and managed, which could cause a shortage, floods, removal of masses, erosive activity, soil loss among others.

Corpoguajira calls on users who intend to carry out projects that include the intervention of a natural resource to carry out all the pertinent procedures according to Colombian environmental regulations..
