Dear Editor,
The Government has been touting China Harbour Engineering Company's (CHEC) "new" plan to dam the Rio Cobre as the best thing since sliced bread, but this is really nothing new.
Over 40 years ago, as a young engineer beginning my career, I heard of these plans and was told that investigations had been done and that they had not been found to be feasible; to the best of my recollection, because of faulting and porosity of the rocks.
