Save the Tatio Geysers
Part 1. The Situation
What is a Geyser? It’s a hot spring that intermittently sends up fountainlike jets of water and steam into the air (dictionary.reference.com)
The Tatio Geysers, located in the Atacama Desert, are one of the main sources of attractions to tourists. In 2002, the geysers were declared one of the most important geothermic energy reservoir in the world. Before the new list, they were also mentioned as one of the great wonders of the world.
Besides a touristic attraction, the geysers are the desert’s main source and reserve of water. The people living in this region depend on them for both economical income (through tourism) and for the water itself.
