Authorities of the National Electricity Company (ENEE) and the Permanent Contingency Commission (COPECO) among others, have begun discharging water from the hydroelectric dam, El Cajón, in order to prevent problems due to the increased water level caused by the rains and weather conditions taking place throughout Honduras.
It was reported that off loading the water today in a controlled manner will lower the water level of the dam, which has reached the maximum extent of its capacity. The release is being controlled and monitored, as well as its effect on the Humuya and Sulaco rivers.
