Santo Domingo.- President Leonel Fernandez cut the ribbon for the water-treatment plant Eastern Salinity Barrier aqueduct’s 2nd module, in the community El Naranjo, San Luis township, built at a cost of RD$5 billion.

The aqueduct can supply 91.3 million gallons daily, which added to the other sources, brings the Aqueduct and Drainage System Corporation’s (CAASD) capacity to 172.3 million gallons per day in that region.

CAASD director Ramon Rivas said the new module will substantially improve the potable water supply for the Eastern zone’s more than 96 communities and more than one million inhabitants.

Whats the use anyways once they start making cement in Gonzalo those rivers are going to dry up in no time. Its no secret that both of them ar born near los Haitises and that the daily rains in that fall there feed their waters. How smart to invest in something that will be made obsolete by a capricious, self serving project like the cementera. People in the capital are too complacent with whats going on, not realizing that los Haitises affects them A LOT..
