Bump.

Update:

Scuba drivers are cleaning the water filters that are pumped from the Nahuel Huapi lake to the area water processing plants. So this could eventually affect their drinking water, especially if the ash settles to the bottom of the lake.

They are having to send divers to various depths under the lake to check and clean water filters on a daily basis. This needs to be done everyday at 8-10 different lake locations (maybe more). The water level is lower than normal making it even more difficult.

Also it seem tourism is being severely affected as well as livestock. Losses estimated at 100 million.

"Tourist arrivals have been badly affected, including Brazilians, other Latin Americans and Americans. Tourism's down 80 percent,"

"People are saying this could last for a couple of years,"

Villa La Angostura in Argentina seems to be having the worst of problems.
It has been declared a disaster zone (state of emergency). They are having drinking water restrictions due to a pump being damaged by ash. This city has been the most affected by the eruption with the most ash fall (30cm).

3000 people have left Villa La Angostura. 40% still do not have electricity and many are without drinking water.

Wow. Matito, thank you again. This is the most detailed information yet. We will never see these images or hear of this in our news...why? I have determined it is because they don't care. Here is another story on some wacky and schocking costume Lady Gaga was wearing last night...thanks again. Please keep posting if you hear more and I am sure the whole ATS community appreciates it. Stay well.
