Guanacaste has 3000 condos without water permit from AyA and not construction permit from municipalities from 2006 to present. Water trust is charging now $5500 for letter of water capacity to each condo owner. Pure life where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is why Guanacaste is a state of emergency pure negocios.

For quite a few years ICE was offering free small native saplings to encourage reforestation.

Guanacaste has been gradually becoming more deforested over the decades making it drier so the precipitation levels have fallen. These communities should redouble their efforts to reforest with the native trees that live in this region to help lessen the problems with drought. Also, although expensive, the government of Costa Rica should invest in at least one or two desalination plants on the Northern Pacific Coast. California is wisely doing this during the severe drought they are going through.

No water that is safe to drink and bathe in. A big problem all over the world like ( Las Vegas). These huge hotels and money makers will not be closing. They will get water by hook or crook Right ,Pres. Solis? It will every one else suffering if indeed the water is a problem. Been here many years it use to rain like the dickens during this time, now only every so often a rain shower. The EL NINO off the coast of Peru has really changed the weather pattern.
