Water Availability Process

At Geo Costa Rica, we manage the entire process to ensure that your project has the required water availability. The process includes:

• Water Concession Request: We handle the application before the Water Directorate (DA) of MINAE to ensure compliance with all legal and environmental requirements for water resource use.
• Hydrogeological Studies: If needed, we conduct hydrogeological studies for the Water Directorate (DA) of MINAE to evaluate the feasibility of the project based on groundwater resources.
• Environmental Viability through SETENA: We process environmental approvals before SETENA, ensuring compliance with regulations and promoting best practices for sustainable water use.
• Surface and Groundwater Capture: We manage permits for the use of surface water (rivers, streams, etc.) as well as the drilling of groundwater wells, depending on the project needs.
• Collaboration with Drilling Companies: Thanks to our strategic partnerships with drilling companies nationwide, we offer a complete well drilling service to guarantee water supply for your project.

Water Availability and Its Importance for Project Development

The approval to develop a project is granted by municipalities based on the availability of water, which must be certified by Acueductos y Alcantarillados (AyA) or by ASADAS (Community Water and Sewer Management Associations), which provide water in the areas where the projects will be developed.
