RAINY SEASON AND ERUPTION OF SANGAY VOLCANO 5230 m.a.s.l
Since September 23, 2020, Sangay Volcano (5230 m.a.s.l.) is making people struggle in many human settlements and cities of Ecuador because it started to be in constant eruption. This volcanic phenomena has destroyed agricultural farms and other for-a-living activities in many human settlements located in the area of influence to this volcano.
Upano River which it is located at the Eastern Edge of Macas City, capital of the Province of Morona Santiago in Ecuadorian Amazonian received a dump of Sangay Volcano material, such as: rocks and lava, and closed the normal course of its waters stopping their flow by a kind of dam which it was formed. After this phenomena, down the river the level of waters decreased and became very polluted with mud and volcanic sand and lava for some while. Then a rainy season appeared and the dam colapsed and the waters rose too much destroying the road that connects the capital of the Province with other main cities in mainland Ecuador.
