The request was made by the council and leader of the Coalition for the Defense of Defense of the Valley of the Transit and the municipality of Carmen Alto del Carmen, Luis Faura Cortes, the Directorate General of Water DGA. Previously
The new application is based on recent history showing that only 2007, totaling over one third of the territory of the municipality of Alto del Carmen has been the subject of concessions for exploration and exploitation mining, pending or already established. |
Mining is the main consumer of water in the valley (including the Pascua Lama project to Barrick Gold and others), and the expansion of mining projects in the area warn of a catastrophe unless today decreed Huasco Valley as an area for further exploration ban and / or holdings of water rights, be they permanent or temporary. currently Huasco River basin has an availability of 126.4 liters. / Sec. of which 100, 4 lts. / Sec. are pending requests that were made by the Committees of Rural Water Huasco province (districts of Alto del Carmen, Freiría Vallenar and Huasco), ie small farmers in the area.
However, the DGA also keeps open the question of 3492.36 liters per second for productive tasks, mostly mining. This is for local leaders is critical, considering that if it meets the demand of small farmers, would 26 lts. / sec available for the entire basin, very small amount to satisfy the requirements of other public sectors dealings are leading to be installed in the area.
therefore requesting the DGA that "will give the 100.4 lts. / sec. requested through the 6 th transition (Water Code) for Rural Drinking Water Committees in the province of Huasco, "the 25 lts. / sec. others are given to municipalities to have them as strategic stocks to new needs, "and finally" the Huasco Valley Basin be declared prohibited area for further exploration and / or holdings of water rights, be they permanent or temporary ", so ensure the sustainability of the basin. This issue is particularly sensitive, given the current situation in neighboring basin of Copiapo, a victim of reserves projected water consumption only until 2012 (La Tercera May 4, 2008) .
