Plains of Bolivia and Lake Titicaca

By Juan Sanz Sanz

The main object of this project is the territory, already in the Amazonian slope, that forms the high part of the Madeira river basin. Here the rainfall is sufficient for the dry land cultivation, the vegetation does not usually have much power and its colonization is within the possible. They are the Plains of Mojos, horizontal alluvial plain between the Andes and the Brazilian archaic massif, whose limits are the Beni and Guapore rivers. These rivers, together with the Mother of God and the Mamore, form a fan that, when gathered, give rise to Madeira. The river makes its way laboriously through the massif of hard bottoms by means of streams and waterfalls. The copious rains do not have a sufficiently rapid exit, forming a vast surface of flood in which the fine sediments that starts from the mountains are deposited, creating a vast alluvial plain, rich and deep. Every year an area of 120,000 km2 is covered by the waters, which take too long to leave due to the extreme horizontality of the plain and the narrowing of the channels below. This drainage work is what the human industry should seek. With this, the vast region would be won for cultivation and Bolivia would have a more solid material base than its mines to sustain.

Historiador y escritor. Autodidacta, Juan Sanz Sanz (1943-2019), se dedicó, desde la primera juventud, a desentrañar los problemas que le planteaban las lecturas de los hechos históricos narrados por los distintos autores que frecuentemente divergían entre sí. La Geografía fue una de sus grandes aficiones y motivo de ferviente estudio, no existiendo en la Planeta lugar, por muy recóndito que se hallase, del que no se hubiera informado exhaustivamente. El atento seguimiento de la realidad social y política en la que transcurrió su existencia se tradujo en propuestas de aprovechamiento hídrico en tres continentes y cada uno de los proyectos fue enviado en su día a los lugares que calculó más idóneos para su consecución. Los idiomas -léase el francés, el inglés, el italiano, el portugués y el alemán, además del suyo propio, el castellano-, no tenían secretos para él y así pudo disfrutar plenamente de la Literatura escrita en ellos, otra afición en la que, como hombre ilustrado, encontraba a sus iguales. En la primera juventud la guitarra española y posteriormente el piano, fueron instrumentos musicales a los que dedicó un gran esfuerzo parejo a la pasión que la Música despertaba en él y así, en la madurez, con auténtica devoción y delicadeza, interpretaba hermosas piezas de Bach, Chopin, Debussy y Beethoven que contribuyeron mucho a hacer sus días más humanos y el paso del tiempo más leve. Además de los Proyectos Hídricos, deja muchos trabajos literarios prácticamente a punto de publicar, algo que se procurará dar a la luz pública. English: Historian and writer Self-taught, Juan Sanz Sanz (1943-2019), devoted himself, from early youth, to unravelling the problems posed by the readings of historical events narrated by the various authors who frequently diverged from each other. Geography was one of his great hobbies and reason for fervent study, not existing on the planet place, no matter how remote it was, that had not been fully informed. The attentive follow-up of the social and political reality in which its existence took place resulted in proposals for water use on three continents and each of the projects was sent in its day to the places that were most suitable for its achievement. Languages - French, English, Italian, Portuguese and German, in addition to his own, Spanish - had no secrets for him and thus he could fully enjoy the literature written on them, another hobby in which, as an enlightened man, he found his peers. In early youth the Spanish guitar and later the piano, were musical instruments to which he dedicated a great effort similar to the passion that the music awoke in him and thus, in maturity, with authentic devotion and delicacy, he interpreted beautiful pieces of Bach , Chopin, Debussy and Beethoven who contributed a lot to make their days more human and the passage of time milder. In addition to the Water Projects, it leaves many literary works almost ready to publish, something that will be sought in the public light.

In memoriam

Clarification:

After years of thorough studies, many calculations and checks, Juan Sanz Sanz (1943 - 2019), released in 1983 and 1986, by mail, privately and personally, two proposals that he presented with the following titles: IDEAS FOR A PROJECT COLONIZACÓN DE LOS LLANOS DE BOLIVIA and IDEAS FOR A PROJECT TO USE THE FLUVIAL SYSTEM OF LAKE TITICACA.

Unfortunately, the very cultured man who many would not hesitate to describe as a prototype of a person close to the Renaissance has just died, given the great amount of knowledge that he sought to enlarge throughout his existence.

The baggage that provided his wisdom, due to the depth of the immersion he did for decades in Geography and History, together with the careful observation of how much was happening in those years throughout the Planet, then gave the spoiled author the necessary impulse to develop his works.

It is good to remember again
