New Drone Footage of Tamarindo

Anyone have any recent drone footage of the new Tamarindo Four Seasons project? The most recent was 9 months ago. Would love to see the progress. | ------------Re: New Drone Footage of Tamarindo

Great shot Ike! It gives a pretty good sense of scale. Boy, I hope they have a good waste water system in place looking at the number of units. | ------------Re: New Drone Footage of Tamarindo

wow there are so many!! I wish they would think of a desalinization plant....this will use so much water! I am pretty certain there is enough money behind this that they could easily supply their own water from the ocean and not drain the aquifer Linda | ------------Re: New Drone Footage of Tamarindo

I can hear the sucking sound from here. That said they cannot afford to run out of water and may participate in water source development or develop a source of their own. A bad outcome would be if they build large water storage tanks being filled with La Manze water. Then they could run off their tanks when La Manz water table goes dry. | ------------Re: New Drone Footage of Tamarindo

Rumor has it that they purchased property out by the Blue Bay highway entrance on the east side of the highway that has an aquifer. Maybe they plan to pump it using the existing pipeline running through town all the way to the building site. | ------------Re: New Drone Footage of Tamarindo

WOW...great article Dobie...had no idea...but f course once read it figures...you are so right that everything effects so much and most of the time we have no idea until we destroy something and then go ....OOPS...WE DID IT AGAIN.. So much for that idea I guess.😢! maybe we are just doomed. | ------------Re: New Drone Footage of Tamarindo

Thanks Dobie, excellent link. I wish the article would have had a comments section, that is often where the meat is. First time I have heard of desal brine. I could parse the article and pull out the positive (too lazy at the moment) but suffice it to say that tech is changing so rapidly (nothing compared to when Artificial intelligence kicks in) that I have faith that an economical alternative will show up soon. It may already be here just on a smaller scale. I refuse to believe we are doomed, we are to innovative and adaptable. But we have to be wary of the existing paradigm (e.g. oil) blocking the path forward. https://phys.org/news/2019-06-hot-efficiency-solar-desalination.html Source Too lazy to keep linking to the article and the source, to get to the article click on the top https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/ca2rln/an_emirati_businessman_aims_to_tow_a_2km_wide/

Danial I agree that there is hope that technology will save “us”. My concern is will it create a world I want to live in? An example. When I finished college I took off and travelled around Mexico for a couple of months. I sent a few post cards home. When I got back to the states the reaction was “glad to see you’re still alive did you have a nice trip” Now if one is not in touch every two days people go ape shit. | ------------Re: Desalination

hopefully on future project planning some green minds will put together the relationship between water usage and waste water, and how they might be intertwined to design water reclamation and recycling strategies that will require less ground water harvesting. There are lots of examples of working models of this strategy. | ------------Re: New Drone Footage of Tamarindo

Israel gets 70% of its water from desalination.
