ZIHgnos de Alegría

Robb it may not be the best solution but has anyone in the Zihua area ever done a study on putting a dam on at least one of the rivers exiting the sierra to either fill some type of aqueduct or at least recharge the groundwater aquifer? It seems Zihua/Ixtapa needs to go this route or go to desalinization which would be very costly.

Oh yes, politicians are falling all over themselves trying to get a piece of that multimillion peso budget. But it isn't ecologically viable because of the methane it would produce.

There's plenty of water in our underground aquifer. In the sierra of Zihuatanejo it gurgles out of the ground all over the place. The problem is simply one of seriousness and professionalism, as I am led to believe by the opinions of experts in the field. We have obsolete water installations deteriorating all over the community, but the mayor is laser focused on pouring his company's cement wherever possible to the detriment of almost everything else except for acquiring political clients and their votes. He wants more people on the hillsides clamoring for services that he can pander to, and he wants to develop Playa Manzanillo with a high-rise hotel right out of the Acapulco playbook. $$$ rulez!
