Guatemala has no general water law and no national abstraction charge; an industrial well is handled with a municipal license plus MARN's environmental instrument (No-Ficción, explainer on the draft water law). Drilling costs have no public price list and must be gathered municipality by municipality for the target locations — Villa Nueva, Chimaltenango, Palín — as must the municipal water license (a gap inherited from dossier 05).

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

Caveat

Drilling costs and the municipal license are not public

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
