RE: [ENG] Looking for a water fountain - Quebrada Gamboa / [ESP] En busca de una fuente de agua - Quebrada Gamboa

Impressive article! With much attention to detail, you have clearly shown us the meticulous process of your journey in searching for a natural water supply source. Are there times during the year that the water fountain stops producing its resource? If so, what's the worst thing that could happen @manuelmilano?

     Good morning, @storiesoferne. Thank you again for your support in this new post. To answer your question, In Venezuela we have only two seasons a year, the dry season (December - April) and the rainy season that runs from the end of April to the month of November. During the dry season these surface water sources do not have optimal flow rates and even tend to dry completely affect even more the common problem that the City of Caracas lives due to lack of water resource.

      Today in the city of Caracas and throughout the country, we are under constant water rationing, this is due to the constant failures that exist in the operation of the water production, transport and distribution system due to lack of maintenance in mechanical equipment and in the pipes of the network. In addition, planned works to offset water demand due to population growth have not been completed.

     Buen día @storiesoferne. Gracias nuevamente por su apoyo en esta nueva publicación. Para dar respuesta a su pregunta, En Venezuela tenemos solo dos estaciones al año, la estación seca (Diciembre - Abril) y la temporada de lluvias que va desde finales de Abril hasta el mes de Noviembre. Durante la temporada seca estas fuentes de agua superficiales no cuentan con caudales óptimos e incluso suelen secarse por completo afectando aun más al problema frecuente que vive la Ciudad de Caracas por falta de el recurso hídrico.

     Hoy en la ciudad de Caracas y en todo el país, estamos bajo un racionamiento de agua constante, esto se debe a las constantes fallas que existen en la operatividad del sistema de producción, transporte y distribución de agua por falta de mantenimiento en los equipos mecánicos y en las tuberías de la red. Además, no se han finalizado las obras planificadas para compensar la demanda de agua por el incremento de la población.

Okay, I understand. That makes your work critically crucial for the continuous development of your community in terms of its valuable water supply. Many thanks for the personal sacrifices and dedicated services that you and your engineering team have contributed to the ultimate progress of your region! More blessings!
