TL;DR
- Corantioquia is delineating the watercourse boundary of the Doña María stream over a 4.3 km section.
- The project aims to prevent future disasters and address the consequences of the stream's mismanagement.
- Watercourse boundaries are protective strips around water bodies to prevent construction in risk zones and reduce floods.
- The Doña María stream and its tributaries are located in areas with high flood risk according to Medellín's Territorial Ordering Plan.
- The project will involve community participation and aims to provide technical input for risk management.
- A previous tragedy in 2022 involving the stream resulted in deaths and displacement.
- The delineation process does not imply immediate evictions but establishes future risk prevention guidelines.
- The final technical study and administrative act are expected by May 2026.
