Warning about building in the east

[NewsWhore]

The director of the Department of Watersheds at the Ministry of the Environment, Luis Espinosa, told reporters that municipalities in the east of the country and the Ministry of Public Works should work together when they are going to authorize any new construction that might lead to salt water seeping into aquifers in the eastern Dominican Republic. He also called for stricter monitoring of local waters.
