However sad that the whole village was submerged, it's quite a relief that the foreseen events of flooding resulted in creating a project that would evict the residents, thus preventing any loss of life. It must have been nostalgic and sad to see the condition of the Potosi village when it resurfaced again due to El Nino. I hope things get better with the blackouts. Sending you and your family prayers and positive wishes.

Amen. Amen. Amen. Hello Friend @discoveringarni. Yes, a lot of nostalgia and yes, thank God a greater tragedy was avoided. This area is located downstream, many tributaries are born at the head of the mountains that converge in the great Uribante rivers and the Caparo river. In times of intense rain, floods are dangerous, for that reason the Hydroelectric Complex was built to take advantage of the power of the waters and transform it into electrical energy that feeds the entire region and part of Norte de Santander in Colombia. At this moment the electricity fails quite a bit. Thanks for your comment. Greetings and infinite blessings for you and your loved ones.
With your permission, I am going to leave you a short video where the first part of the translation says the following:
Uribante, Municipality of tourism and energy. Uribante and its surroundings. The Uribante Municipality has a land area of 1502 square kilometers, represents 13.4% of the State of Táchira and therefore constitutes the largest municipal entity in the territorial geography. The water sources are one of the most important riches of the Uribante Municipality, its surroundings are full of mountain landscapes, steep slopes, broken relief, small waterfalls, streams and streams that will eventually become individual tributaries of the important Uribante River. The Uribante is the main watercourse in the Táchira State due to its flow, extension, length and numerous tributaries. This important river is born in Templades at an altitude of 3400 meters above sea level and on its way it is fed by the Pedernales, Penegas, Negro and Puyas rivers in addition to numerous individual tributaries, its hydroelectric potential is reached downstream of the town of Pregoneros when the river is dammed in the La Honda reservoir of the Uribante Caparo Hydroelectric Complex. Then the video shows you the town of Pregonero and finally the La Honda Dam Reservoir.
Thank you for sharing the video and blessings to you and your family
