Resumen
Las condiciones de sequía del 2001 observadas en el istmo centroamericano, se debieron principalmente a la disminución del régimen de lluvias, anomalías en la velocidad de los vientos alisios y en la temperatura de las aguas del Golfo de México. Tales elementos tuvieron un fuerte impacto sobre la agricultura nicaragüense y en particular sobre el departamento de Matagalpa donde municipios como Ciudad Darío, Sébaco, San Isidro y Terrabona experimentaron pérdidas de maíz y frijol entre un 75 y 90%.
La presencia de la sequía, la condición socioeconómica y la crisis cafetalera sin duda parecen haber sido los principales factores de expulsión que influyeron en los desplazamientos de los sectores más vulnerables de la población del Departamento de Matagalpa.
The drought conditions observed in the Central American isthmus in 2001 were mainly due to a decrease in the rainfall regime, anomalies in the speed of the trade winds and in the temperature of the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. These factors had a strong impact on Nicaraguan agriculture, particularly in the department of Matagalpa, where municipalities such as Ciudad Darío, Sébaco, San Isidro and Terrabona experienced corn and bean losses of between 75 and 90%. The presence of drought, socioeconomic conditions and the coffee crisis undoubtedly seem to have been the main factors of expulsion that influenced the displacement of the most vulnerable sectors of the population in the Department of Matagalpa.
