they are going to put the big damn. That way the trucks do not have to come into Mulege to get water daily.

If they are building dam(s), I would guess that they know they'll have to open the flood gates with subsequent flooding during Jimena type events and
the dams are being built to provide a constant water supply during normal weather conditions.
I wonder if the river through Mulege will dry up except during storms.

a map of proposed dams and canal locations would be informative, eh?

DiveMulege, if you need help posting photos... let me know (u2u or ?).
As for the sidebars about the river, don't get too upset because they keep your original 'for sale' post bumped to the top of the forum! Your ad
always will appear first and replies are all below it.
Yes, it is a classified ad, and if you don't want to discuss the dam construction, then start a new dam thread in the General Discussion forum and ask
Doug (BajaNomad) to move the dam questions/ comments to the new thread there.
I do find the dam construction discussion interesting... I cannot find a Santa Ynez on the map, however? Also, you probably mean Northwest (mountains)
and not Northeast (sea) of Mulege?
Anyway, best luck with the sale!

He means playa Santa Ines, north of M, about halfway up to Punta Chivato.
There is low land/valley from there back to the valley behind Mulege. Makes sense to divert major flood volumes that way, not much rise between the
two areas. Is easy to see on pg 15 of BajaAlmanac.
Good luck on the house sale, sorry the pizza joint didn't work out. The location is great, maybe it would work better as a coffee shop? I'm no
restaurant guy, I'm sure you discussed it already at length. I give you both points for trying, most won't even do that.
Can't get on base unless you swing at some balls. Keep swinging!

Ah, well that is better... thank you very much... I wouldn't think of looking for a dam or river work on the beach towards Punta Chivato and that
watershed (Boca de Magdalena) doesn't go into Mulege at all... ???

I wonder if the new bridges on Mex 1 in this low land/valley area were designed to handle the additional water to be diverted from the Mulege valley?
Think that there was a lot of coordination between the highway bridge engineers and the flood control engineers?????

If someone wants to start a topic about it in the general section I will post pics, talk with the guys building it and show the construction every
couple of weeks. I hate posting stuff on here because then I have to listen to the non believers and I have better things to do than try to convince
someone.

You seem to have a problem hearing opinions other than your own....and when you do, you insult those with a different opinion.
Should everyone "believe" what you do ?
Why not consider the notion that just because a person believes something doesn't mean it is true...it just means they think it is true.
People are not necessarily being negative simply because they might think differently than you.
Just a thought and an invitation to not make others wrong because they perceive things differently
It must be difficult trying to convince everyone with a different viewpoint that yours is THE correct one.

MG,
You think we want to hear your opinion. I am trying to sell a house. Not looking for your opinion on my house nor do I want to hear from you. Don't
you get it? Man, you must lead a boring life that you have to sit in front of your computer to give you some empowerment.

You have the photos and details, so would you please start the new thread on the General Baja forum? Thank you!
PS. It may be helpful to add photos of your home for sale here... ?

V,
Yes I can....and when someone insults me, I don't have to stand by and not reply.
This whole issue seems to have arisen from a comment I made about the ongoing risk of the river flooding in Mulege.
I do not always stoop down to pick up a thrown gauntlet...but I do at times.
I try to contribute to BN forums with a variety of posts....this one is one of the sour ones.
I will drop this issue and leave this thread alone....
Don't believe everything you think....

I think that your opinion and questions about flooding is appropriate when someone is trying to sell property....but Ged, full disclosure in Mexico
is not a requirement.

Every person that has inquired is told about flooding during the conversation. There is no way of hiding the fact when there still is a lot of houses
that are damaged on the river. With the ability to insure through GNP for $301 a year for $110k of coverage, you cannot lose. I just cleaned out my
new house for $7500 pesos. I have another $8000 pesos of damage to pay and it is completely fixed. If I had insurance I would of actually made a lot
more than that. To live in a nice area you have risks. California has quakes, midwest has tornadoes and the gulf and east coast have major
hurricanes. To be inconvenienced for a couple of weeks to live near the ocean for $42k is a no brainer! What would you pay in the states for a house
like this. MG is just a bitter person and if you look at a lot of his post you will see his negativity. Grow some balls and come tell me in person
MG!

I am personally hoping that the construction on this river project is more professional than the bridge projects between Insurgentes and Constitucion.

The new bridge in Mulege under the bridge came out nice. Ok, maybe that is a small project. LOL

What's the issues with the bridges?
As I recall, there is only one or two bridges and they have been there a few years.
Or, have they started something new since my last trip through in October?

There likely is no issue, just folks offering non knowledgeable opinions, pointing out issues that have nothing to do with the thread.....Why would
wodd give a rodents burro about the Mulege bridges?

I don't know for how long you have made the trip between Insurgents and Constitucion, but the original project had bridges on both sides of the
highway. Some have been washed out.
Reminds me of the bridge fiasco down by Cabo at El Tule. Maybe the government has learned some lessons, but there is a very long history of recently
constructed bridged not built to withstand the stress.

So What? Several bridges in New York and New Jersey have failed as well....That has as much to do with Mulege as El Tule....
