Peru: El Niño prep stalled in Punta Hermosa by Sedapal dispute, bridge delay

Preventive works in the Malanche ravine (Punta Hermosa, Peru) are delayed ahead of El Niño, with the municipality blaming Sedapal network issues for the García Rada bridge renovation holdup and a territorial dispute with Santo Domingo de los Olleros blocking upper-ravine work. The delay raises flood risk for the upcoming rainy season, but the extent of the impact is uncertain.
