In a comment from a previous publication Atilio tells us about this note in the Journal of Carlos Paz: Coopi
manage Cosquín reservoirs on the river, the Yuspe and Cuesta Blanca
Reflotarían a levee system to supply water to the south of Punilla
While work is still in debate, the rumors hinted that, since the Coopi, the intention is to incorporate this possibility in the "Plan Works 2010-2030 "that the entity submitted to the Council of Representatives. The fact is that the rush to add these actions within the planned projections for future years, it has to do with the need to start managing national and provincial funds, allowing meet the costs of works to be performed, according to sources consulted by the borrower carlospacense.
forecasts relate to the need to "rethink" providing for a semi-arid region, which has one of the indices urban growth in the country, and that evidence of "serious inconvenience" to ensure the provision of water resources at the stable population. From the San Roque dam construction is not projected a work of this magnitude, which will solve a major structural flaw which, according to expressions of Coopi technical manager, Juan Carlos Sola, "will also help to preserve water coming down from the mountains ", since, as pointed out:" In these areas is always more water than is being consumed, so it is necessary to retain it through a reservoir. "
Accompanying this comprehensive plan, also suggested the possibility of relaunching the construction of the controversial dam Cuesta Blanca, which was prevented in the nineties and whose consequences are felt today. This would be one component of the levee system, including the operation of a flood control dam on the river Yuspe Cosquín other on the river and a third in La Calera. Indeed, the latter will serve to provide water to the small mountain ranges, through the implementation of a canal linking the reservoir to the dam La Quebrada in the city of Cordoba and Los Molinos.
In part, this plan is inspired by a design that dates from 2001 when the then Minister of Works and Utilities, Carlos Caserio, diagram an alternative that allowed site "dams girls instead of a dam of major proportions." This choice ensured the preservation of natural environment and provided a solution to a problem more valid than ever, it is also envisioned by the Municipal Executive Department. This infrastructure allowed a 30% increase in the capacity of San Roque, through two small reservoirs near the water intake of the Coopi and one in the Las Jarillas, intended for use in the towns of San Antonio, Mayú Sumaj, Icho Cruz, Tala Huasi and Cuesta Blanca, as well as for the neighborhoods in the south of Villa Carlos Paz.
