Satellite warn of the instability of the Yesa reservoir

  • Geological studies have warned on more than one occasion and now the warning comes from satellite surveillance: The Yesa reservoir is not stable. Copernicus, the European Union’s Earth observation programme, has detected a ‘movement’ on the slopes of the reservoir.

Not only on the surface but "over 100 meters deep." This latest report reports that movement is also detected inside. And you can conclude that today the reservoir is dangerous and always dangerous. As other geologists have already warned, Antonio Casas and Antonio Aretxabala reaffirmed what Copernicus says: that there is movement and that there is no security.

Belen Ausejo, a member of the 'No More Esa' platform, said that the latter confirms what Casas and Aretxabaleta also said. It has taken into account that independent investigations have previously indicated this. "It is clear that there are interests, there can be a willingness to do work and to allocate money to specific companies economically. And that is that there is no serious research studying whether the expansion of the reservoir would bring real benefits," he said. "If it comes to irrigation, there is no more irrigated land. It will only bring more disasters," he added. This latest report also confirms what is happening in the Yesa reservoir.

Ingeotyc geology recommends not to extend the Yesa reservoir
It concludes that the right side of the reservoir remains unstable and therefore there is a level of risk. The report was prepared by geologists Valentín Ibarra and Tomás Morales of the company Ingeotyc on behalf of the City Council of Sangüesa.
