Nicaragua & Water:
o Deficiency of water services contributes to the already poor living conditions, and a higher chance of subjection to death.
o Nicaragua's surface water is undeveloped and contaminated so they're unable to use for their water supply.
o Contamination is mostly caused from domestic and industrial waste.
o Lack of a national water law, it has been suggested in the past but has never been passed.
o Uneven rainfall distribution
