El Niño Climate & Flood Risk Context

Colombia is typically characterized by suppressed rainfall, higher temperatures, and agricultural drought during El Niño, leading to stressed hydroelectric reservoirs (which supply ~70% of national power) and wildfire outbreaks. In Cartagena, flood risk increases when antecedent soil moisture prevents rainwater from infiltrating, forcing runoff into local municipal drains and river channels.
