English: Caño Martín Peña was once a navigable waterway through the center of San Juan, connecting two lagoons. Peasants who migrated to San Juan from rural areas during the first half of the 20th century settled along the Caño and built their houses among mangroves. Over time, the Caño (canal) closed in with debris and waste. Over 3,000 structures were located where there was no sewer system, which contributes to environmental degradation and dangerous health conditions when flooding occurs every time it rains.
