The largest country is Central America, Nicaragua, is perhaps also the poorest. Like in many other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, a large portion of the population lacks access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene services. Statistics show that there are still 1.1 million people that don’t have access to water, may not have water every day, or face quality problems.

5 Facts About Water Wells in Nicaragua

To drill a water well in Nicaragua, individuals or companies face a lot of challenges. Even though it’s very common to see wells, the process isn’t regulated, and quality isn’t guaranteed. Here are some facts about water wells in Nicaragua:

1. Lack Of Technical Information

Town Halls don’t control the number and location of drilled wells. Also, there aren’t many studies about the type of soil, how deep the water table is, quality of water, size of the expected yields, and type of water well needed. In Nicaragua, anyone can drill a well wherever they want to. This is why there are so many cases of contaminated water wells. 

2. Rugged Topography

The majority of places in the country that don’t have access to water, especially rural areas, have high-altitudes and rugged topography. This can make it hard for the drilling equipment to access and elevate the entire drilling process’s costs. Also, more previous studies are needed.

3. Lack Of Resources

In Nicaragua, wells are drilled in an artisan way. This has lead to contaminated water wells and communities consuming dirty, contaminated water. In order to properly drill a well, you require industrial equipment and qualified personnel. The country doesn’t have such resources.

4. Lack Of Environmental Studies

Environmental studies are needed before drilling a well. This is to make sure you are not contaminating the water table, and there are no contaminants in the area. In Nicaragua, they don’t perform said studies.

5. Lack Of Certifications and International Standards

Many companies or individuals who offer water well drilling services are not certified and don’t count with the right equipment or technology to perform the drilling process.
