The CARA Network: Building Latin American Capacity in Hydrogeology and Water Resource Management
Ground water supplies the vast majority of water supply in Central America yet, prior to the last 15 years, there have been only a handful of appropriately educated hydrogeologists in the region. The CARA Network (http://www.caragua.org) began in 1999 with the intention of building capacity in hydrogeology and water resource management in Central America. Capacity is built at national (public) universities through applied two‐year M.Sc. programs with related teaching and research. Each university is strengthened through the creation of new faculty positions, faculty training, the procurement of equipment/books/software, and the dedication of infrastructure. To date, the CARA M.Sc. programs have trained (or have in a current program) almost 160 Latin American hydrogeologists at the M.Sc. level. CARA short courses and workshops have trained over 2000 water‐sector professionals in the region in a variety of water themes related to groundwater and water resource management.
