Potable sources of drinking water in rural Guatemala are rare. Common sources of drinking water in rural Guatemala include surface water, shallow hand-dug wells and spring-fed systems. These systems have been shown to regularly be infected with e-coli bacteria due to contamination from inadequate or lack of sanitary sewage systems. One system that has been proven to produce safe drinking water is deep groundwater wells. Deep groundwater wells are a rare commodity due to the cost and lack of subsurface data in Guatemala; however, a NGO group has funded a project to develop a deep groundwater well in Sacala, Guatemala. Prior to initiation of the drilling process, a feasibility study is being conducted to determine if renewable energy, i.e. solar and wind power, can be used to power the groundwater pump. The feasibility will be based on one year's worth of data from the village of Sacala. A weather station will be set-up in Sacala to collect solar radiation, precipitation, wind velocity and wind direction values. A datalogger will store the data and be downloaded regularly to be certain the system is functioning properly. After sufficient data is collected, a statistical approach will be taken to determine if solar and/or wind power will be sufficient to power the pump. This study will also consist of communicating with the people of Sacala about the groundwater and renewable energy project, as well as educating the village of the importance of clean drinking water.
