Resumen
The municipality of Puerto Wilches, upstream from its headwaters, on the Magdalena River, has problems with river overflows in two places known as Perico and Terraplén (urban center), because these overflows produced currents and increases in the levels of the swamps surrounding the urban center and the obstruction of the Las Angustias bridge caused flooding in the lower areas of the city.
On the right bank of the Magdalena River in the Perico and Terraplén sectors, there are road dikes that control the high river levels. However, due to their location so close to the shore and the displacement of the riverbed, these structures have been affected to the point of collapse on several occasions.
