April 26, 2013. A dog walks on cracked ground at the Las Canoas dam, some 59 km (37 miles) north of the capital Managua. A large area of the dam has been dry since last February, as most of its water have been used by rice farmers for their crops, affecting around hundreds of peasants living in the area, according to local media.
