Limon Province suffers from inundations and flooding, caused by heavy rainfall for a good portion of the year. The $50,000,000 U.S., allocated to investigate additional water sources for Guanacaste could go a long way in providing a system to get the excess Limon water over, or through the mountains to Guanacaste.

Fresh Water going to be in high demand.

If ever the Nicaraguan government along with the Chinese make a canal contaminate a huge fresh water lake as well. I think this Nicaraguan canal has become a red herring for a land grab of the indigenous population and their land in the Blue fields region for the Chinese corporation. It seems we have to destroy everything. Sad!
