Drought and water use
"Drastic Measures"
Santo Domingo
The director of "Corporaci?n del Acueducto y Alcantarillado de Santo Domingo (CAASD)", Alejandro Mont?s, warned, that they will adopt drastic measures :laugh: against people who waste water.
CAASD aplicar? sanciones dr?sticas contra personas desperdicien el agua | AlMomento.net
Mr. Mont?s did not say which measures that would be.... and I guess, those who still have water will use/waste it as usual.
"Jajajajajaja....no hombe, no embromen. Eso en un pa?s donde cualquiera monta un negocio de mec?nica debajo de una mata de mango y se coge la cera, en un pa?s donde no se respetan sem?foros, en un pa?s donde se venden firmados vencidos y falsificados, en un pa?s donde cualquiera carajo a la vela instala un car Wash y le "da pa' lla" al despilfarro de agua porque un teniente de el es su "pana full" me van a decir a mi que se va castigar el desperdicio de aguas.

I find your posts and your passion interesting.
As I posted earlier, I am currently on Lake Huron - the Cdn side.
If you don't know much about the Great Lakes, you might find reading about them informational.
The largest body of fresh water in the world.
For the most part, you can wade in and stick your face in the water to drink...
Island people (incl the UK) find this hard to believe.... and no salt smell in the air.
From my shore across to Michigan is about 40 miles.....
It is 183 miles at the widest point..... 23,000 sq miles (60,000 sq km) & 200 miles long
Just thought you might be interested
The Price of Water
On reading the article I found it interesting that now so many people lament over the price of water.
They are most likely the same people who never paid for it, just wasting it.
Will they from now on appreciate and value the water for what it is worth?? :tired:
