What water Mac?I will post an except from SocialMediaKing's post of December 13 where he quotes from an investigative project by reporters to determine any potential damage to the environment by Minesa (you can also read EOM into that). Their conclusions mirror the Excodes Study. It is a machine translation but it is worthwhile to go back and read the whole article. Their main conclusion was the one tributary on the mountain is dying of mercury pollution. Excerpt follows:
"
However, when arriving in the upper part of the rural area of California, the picture is very different from the one that Colombia met during the march that brought together thousands of people who reject the project. In the area where Minesa plans to exploit gold, there are no such pristine lagoons, much less frailejones, nor pure ecosystems; on the contrary, the ecosystem and environmental deterioration is frightening and is seen as a hard blow of reality.
The stream "La Baja" is a dying tributary polluted by tons of mercury and cyanide, which without any regulation by any institution, have spilled generously into its waters laden with poisonous sediments.
Dozens of pools where they wash the rock with mercury and cyanide are seen along the entire ravine; sands with a strong smell of sulfur and whose appearance is, at least, suspicious (bright and fine) is thrown unceremoniously into the riverbed of "La Baja" while the families of the "galafardos" or traditional miners live exposed to all kinds of pollution chemistry.
The sewage, product of the activity of washing the mineral, is thrown without treatment or remorse to the gully that, dizzying, lowers to tributar its waters to the Vetas creek that later will reach the Surat river, a tributary that in times of deficit of rainfall serves as an alternate source for the aqueduct of Bucaramanga, a city that is supplied mainly by the Tona and Fro rivers."
