- Palm and oil activity in area before the dam.
- Small influence of spanish colonization in this area comparing to Betania-Quimbo and Urrá.
- Important point: change in dinamics of flooding change the land fertility? In quantitative and qualitative ways.
- Downstream stakeholders seem to be very disaggregated.

-The volume of wood debris is very high.
-Maybe deforestation in upstream areas?
-How palm oil relates to the dam?
-Who can re-use this debris? Is it profitable?
-Participation of communities in reforestation  processes.

Water quality issues from agro-industry (sugar) and small to medium cities (sewage) in the watershed.

Shore erosion apparently more pronounced here than in other reservoirs.

How do reservoir operations influence water level changes? And how do water level changes influence erosion upstream?

Mining influences upstream as sources of sediment?

- Sogamoso river discharge the water into the Magdalena river
- Downstream of the reservoir we have the ciénagas (wetlands)
- fishermen complain about the unpredictable water level fluctuation.
- daily changes now happens in these wetlands downstream causing a lot of erosion in the margins.
- sometimes the water level is so low in the ciénagas that boats have a hard time to navigate due to sand banks.
- according to ISAGEN, the level just changes a bit, like some centimeters. But according to the fishermen, the water level

- Sogamoso River, Magdalena Basin

- Dam building started 2009, energy 2014

- Flooding 70 km2

- Uses: hydropower generation, fishing, tourism and flood control.

- Installed capacity: 820 MW, 10% of Colombia’s electric power
- Owned and operated by ISAGEN (Colombian-Canadian private company)

- Cienaga El Llanito wetland, downstream the dam
- PES upstream the dam

- Highly Contested building process
- ELN guerrilla and paramilitary groups

- Artisanal fishing and way of life was harmed;
- Possible los of land fertility;
- Illegal introduction of species for sport fishing into the dam;
- Poorly exploited tourism;
- No populated centers (just smal farms).

Martha no longer lives next to the river. Her house was in La Playa village, a riverine hamlet less than five minutes by car from the Hidrosogamoso dam, but she moved to Sabana de Torres after her husband couldn't fish anymore there. Now Martha sees the river from an app. It's called Attris and was created by the energy company- Isagen- to let fishers know when the waters will rise or fall according to the movement of the floodgates. Martha says she checks it occasionally, but she doesn't even go to the river anymore.
