Subject: ICN: Comp: 12th Arquine International Competition: ARK-Flood
Observatory
From: "Daniel Baltasegua / Arquine" <difusion@xxxxxxxxxxx>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Floods are natural phenomena. Their impact can come to devastate villages
built in their path. The Usumacinta Observatory will be used to study the
rises in the river, define infrastruc- tural projects to contain floods
and, at the same time, provide refuge for the affected population.
The ARK should be a project that raises awareness about a reality that is
as hazardous as is it inevitable. It is not foreseen that the water be
retained by either dams or reservoirs.
