This flooding has become much less frequent in recent years due to extensive planting of Eucalyptus and Pine forests, especially in the Tacuarembó river basin. There is currently one rural public school in the area, located on the northern slope of the biggest hill, number 87. There used to be three schools in the past: Number 87, one beyond it along the road from Corrales which closed in the 80s, and one at Paso Cunha which closed in the early 90s due to depopulation or rural flight.
This inundation has become much less common in recent years because of extensive afforestation with Eucalyptus and Pine trees, especially in the Tacuarembó river basin. There is currently one rural public school in the area, located on the northern slope of the largest hill, number 87. Previously, there were three schools: Number 87, one beyond it along the road from Corrales which ceased operations in the 80s, and one at Paso Cunha which closed its doors in the early 90s due to a decline in population or rural migration.
