Water Levels On La Isa

Is the water levels still increasing on La Isla? I understand water started to go in a few days ago?

I've just returned and confirm the level has dropped again by about a foot in the last 3 weeks

I believe the plan to reduce has been scapped as it would cost the banks too much. I understand the plan is to divide the lake to fill with salt water from a well and then use the reramining part for irriagtion. I for one am not happy if this is visible. If the oasis gets built or  the Restuarant oppsite block 7/8/9 on the Al Kasar side then a dividing section would prevent the option of boats being used and I think any visible wall would look totally out of place. I understand the Restaurant is part of the plan scheduled for completion by the end of the year and that work was to start oct and would take 2 months

Water levels appear to be dropping to me as well. Very frustrating and more frustrating that you can never get a straight story regarding what is happening and when.

Hi Neil/Mark

Personally, I'm glad to hear that the work to reduce the size of the lake has been scrapped.

However, the ongoing problem of low water levels leads me to agree with Mark in that using sea water may well be a viable solution & possibly cheaper in the longer run ?

Regarding a split system - I'm not sure how I feel about this but my initial reaction is that a wall would look awful.  Is it possible for someone to post pictures from Terrazas de la Torre ?

p.s. - It was great to meet you & your family Mark.  Watching young Luca give you the run around was hilarious !

Hi Neil / San

Thanks for your replies.

Like San I would be keen to see some pics from La Torre. I guesss lakes on other resorts are filled due to having hotels but how does IRM expect to sell if they don't speculate to accumulate.

My personal thoughts are that the banks will end up with a lot of these apartments on their books for many years to come unless an open and transparant way forward is identified to give people confidence to buy. In my view there is a key stakeholder management piece required here to help build trust and confidences to move things forward and I really hope we get clear comms coming out from our presidents and administrator.

San - good to meet you and your family as well. No idea where little Luca gets all his energy from :)

HI ALL

Here is an idea!!!!!

You want the lakes filled but are not prepared to pay the large amounts required.......

As far as I know de-sal water is "dead/serile water" (I wouldn't use it for my olives), it needs to be stored in a reservoir to build up the normal levels of natural bacteria; I belive the reservoir built above El Escobar is for this porpose.

Your lakes are ideal - you get the enviroment you desire whilst contributing to the local water managment system.

Needs investigation and discussion, but if it is feasible then at least you would be contributing, not just taking...

Hi
Just returned water level continues to go up some of the black plastic now covered and the water turbine blades were switched on for a short time best its looked for some time.

Hello to all on La Isla, this being my first post.

Has anyone ever seen the lake full? The possibility occurs to me that there may be a split in the liner and that the 'normal' level is as high as it will go.

Does anyone have any information regarding the lake and the proposed plan to resolve the issue we all face? I have been informed despite receiving assurances to the contrary that they still plan to build this horrendous dam/eyesore and I would like to know other owners thoughts.
