I visited Mare aux Vacoas reservoir few days ago. It is almost dry. Pics are worth >1000 words:-
Water was supposed cover all this:
Now we get down into the reservoir
The soil…
Impressive right?
The drying water…
That’s all for this post. I’ll post pics of the dry alimentary canals next time.
I’ve heard that the rivers which were supposed to be feeding Mare aux Vacoas has to deviated into ‘Le Domaine Des 7 Vallées’. Is that true?
Ti bisin donne party malin so chance. li ti pu rempli reservoir la.
U r perfectly right Nayar.
from weluvmu.wordpress.com:
“So what has changed? Has Mare-aux-Vacoas sprung a leak? What would the Singaporean experts say? DON’T BE RIDICULOUS! The problem is caused by the diversion of the old streams that used to feed the reservoir. Their life giving water is now being used to keep Domaine des 7 Vallées lush and green. Now who owns that? Alain O`Reilly “the father of Ecotourism in Mauritius since far back in 1987”? Not likely is it? How could he afford to buy land with an area of forty times what he sold when he was moved on from Domaine du Chasseur? So a little digging around and what did a “friend” discover? Much of it was bought from the State at a knock-down price by front people for the Rawat and other Parti Travesti families. Wait a minute! Haven’t the Rawat’s merged with Beejaun’s family through marriage? What a scandal that would be if it were made public don’t you think? A super-volcano waiting to erupt that will make the Medpoint scandal seem like an ant-hill! I digress…”
Only rain can fill it now which is i’m sure the reservoire will never be filled above 50%
May the Almighty have mercy on us! Ameen…
