May 10 (Bloomberg) -- Chile approved a hydroelectric project that would flood Patagonian valleys, sparking protests and more than a hundred arrests around the country.
Police fired water cannons and tear gas at demonstrators outside the building in the city of Coyhaique, where 11 of the 12 members of an environment commission voted in favor of the HidroAysen project that Santiago-based Empresa Nacional de Electricidad SA and Colbun SA want to build.
