With all the e-coli laced effluent percolating through the laterite from the septic-tanks and soak-pits on the hill above; and with all the garbage heaps leaching their lethal poisons into its spongy aquifers, the spring may be spewing more of a toxic soup than the pure, mineral and medicinal water it is supposed to bless us with. The Salmona Spring in Saligao, has suffered an identical curse bestowed on it by coastal, tourism wastes. The garbage is dumped by the cash-rich Calangute Panchayat, into a huge, empty laterite quarry just above the legendary spring. All the wells in the area have suffered a similar fate. The spring's once medicinal water is today certified unfit for drinking by the Health Services and Pollution Control Board. Sigh! :-( Warm regards and solidarity.
