CANCUN.— In an improvised manner, with “homemade” materials and without the greatest care, staff of the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) intends contain aquifer pollution that runs below the Section 5 South of the Mayan Trainderived from the fillings for the pile driving, the spillage of concrete and the diesel dumped on the site, denounced members of the movement Save me from the train.
After a tour of the System of Aktun Tuyul caves, Hydrologist Guillermo D’Christy and biologist Roberto Rojo They came across “remediation” work inside one of the caves, consisting of the Placing blankets tied to sticks and sacksin an attempt to contain hydrocarbons that come from the surface and filter into the aquifer, which is already contaminated.
There was also detergent bottles, homemade soda bottle guards to “contain” runoff and equipment considered by D’Christy to be very mediocre to try to repair the damage already caused in at least 70 kilometers of the Section 5 Southfrom Playa del Carmen to Tulum, affecting a system of 124 caves and cenotes.
The images and the events were made public yesterday by the water specialist, who pointed out that the measure is not only absurd but also totally ineffective.
“Makeshift materials, pretending to do so, are of course useless. There are special materials to absorb this type of spill, but they are not being used here. But surely someone is charging for doing this job,” said D’Christy.
“Who is supervising this work? Where is it being carried out? “We have been documenting water contamination for more than three months.”
