History of site and related water issues
Rio Rosario is both a water source and also a revered sacred body of water. A recent discovery of high arsenic levels in the water in Guanacaste is most troubling. The water organization in Costa Rica AyA is looking into solutions for the situation and it seems it will take time to find one as the machinery to remove the arsenic is costly and may not be able to be afforded by some communities.
