  Geography:
This department is made up by large plains,
where no farming takes place, because of lack of water. However, in the last centuries,
the Olmos Carob Tree Forest held goat herds that fed on the food of this tree. This gave
rise to the leather, cordobanes, soap and kid skin industry.
The hydrographic system of Lambayeque is made up by the
Zaña, Lambayeque and Jayanca rivers. The largest part of them are formed in the highlands
of Cajamarca, excepting the Motupe and Olmos rivers.
