How A Water Well Can Save A Whole Community

In our day-to-day activities, we are constantly using water. We wake up and can have a glass of water by walking to a kitchen faucet, washing our teeth, taking a shower, cooking, and so on. If you think about it, water is essential to our lives. Now imagine having to walk great distances every day and collect only the amount of water you can carry back home.

Clean water access translates into so much more than a physical necessity. Having access to water has a direct impact on a community’s:

• Health: in impoverished countries, clean water shortage results in up to 80% of diseases due to poor sanitation and contaminated water sources.
• Education: Families in rural areas divide house chores, and children are often sent to collect drinking water for the whole family. Going to school is out of the family’s priorities.
• Economic development: Rural areas depend vastly on agriculture to sell, and self consume, which becomes a source of income for the family.
• Safety: as a consequence of having a steady source of income, the safety and security of communities are positively improved, reducing crime levels.

This is a real scenario for most people in Nicaraguan rural communities. At HydroLOGICA, we understand how water wells can save a whole community and are committed to being an active agent of change, starting with providing international quality well drilling services.
