Fifteen points remain open: EMPAGUA's commercial/industrial tariff by band; the cost of the municipal drilling license by municipality; the market price of drilling (Q per foot or Q per meter); the water-to-beverage ratio at CBC and Cervecería; AMSCLAE's rules on drilling in Atitlán; the exact ranges of fines under the penalty regime (Decree 68-86); the water consumption of the Tigo Fraijanes and Claro data centers; an official water balance by basin later than 2013; the national hydrogeological map with aquifer productivity (MAGA/INSIVUMEH); the tariffs of the private industrial parks (Michatoya, Zeta La Unión); compliance with AG 236-2006 in Amatitlán (AMSA's register); the article of AG 236-2006 that sets the two annual samplings; the magnitude of the La Pasión river ecocide (tonnes and km); the source of the phrase 'a 40-year debt'; and the text of AG 137-2016 as amended by AG 317-2019. Anyone who needs these data has to gather them from EMPAGUA, the municipalities, AMSA, AMSCLAE or the companies.

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.

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.
