SAN SALVADOR

WATER MONITORING / CHALLENGES Y SOLUTIONS

The San Salvador Metropolitan Area (AMSS), with 6 municipalities made up of 14 districts and approximately 1.8 million inhabitants, has the particularity of being supplied mainly by groundwater. Mapping the aquifer recharge zones is essential to protect them, monitor them and plan the city's development without affecting them. This is the great challenge facing a city that is growing at the expense of nature and a growing population that demands more and more of the precious liquid.
