Environmental Concerns
Several water offtakes have been progressively placed at lake Musters for drinking water supply, as well as many diversions of Senguerr river to feed oil extraction facilities in the nearby region. This complicated the already resented hydro balance of the whole system to the extend of almost collapse at Colhué Huapi whose peripheral surface continuously retracts and dries. The hydrological equilibrium of the whole basin has been negative in the past seventy years. Currently these lakes situation could be defined as compromised.

Famous quotes containing the word concerns:
“History in the making is a very uncertain thing. It might be better to wait till the South American republic has got through with its twenty-fifth revolution before reading much about it. When it is over, some one whose business it is, will be sure to give you in a digested form all that it concerns you to know, and save you trouble, confusion, and time. If you will follow this plan, you will be surprised to find how new and fresh your interest in what you read will become.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
