who rules the river

The article talks about an investigation by the journalist, and environmental activist, Gemma Contreras, who went to the vicinity of the Alto Maipo hydroelectric plant to show that the sediment that is throwing into the Yeso River it´s highly polluting and, therefore, dangerous  for child, for the fauna of the place and for the people.

It also talks about the injustice that means that the main source of fresh water that supplies Santiago is being delivered to a foreign company, which will occupy it in order to extract energy for others that exploit other natural sources. Added to this, Alto Maipo promoted desertification an area highly affected by this evil, which would lead to an early melting of glaciers and along with this, the exhaustion of water resources.

I found this article very interesting, as it reports on a contingent issue in the environmental field, which reflects terrible injustices, and also makes it possible to make visible the journalist who is behind all the investigation, which results in a kind of report /profile. It is also accompanied by images that illustrate what happened, which makes it more didactic to read.
