You put it on the front page, well done. This is a catastrophe in the making- (environmentally)- not only for the water extraction but the proposed 80 juggernauts a day to enter and leave the Plant via a (mostly) one track winding road, and bang next to a residential estate. Not only will the villagers of Durcal loose their access to public water, but, more importantly, the area and aquifers around Durcal and Padul are supplied by the natural waters of the Rio Durcal from this part of the Sierra Nevada; the areas will dry out and that will be the end of that! There are many citizens of Durcal I know to be opposed to this plant. Your newspaper is doing an excellent job in exposing these potential "disasters", and this one I believe will be hugely contested, only for its´desertification which in no doubt will come because of it. If you need any more info, I am happy to help. I live right below the plant!! If you wish to print this letter, please do not mention my name in full, thanks.
