Nearby water source wells should be considered in all EIAs.

IMO.

From a quick literature search of oil contamination in aquifers it seems that what matters in aquifers is which direction the water flows.

Although I am no geologist, I suspect that the fresh water for these wells comes from rainfall in the Maya Mountains to the west, rather than from the sea to the east.

Treaty's San Juan #2 well is right in the path of this water flow.

So in the absence of any baseline water quality and contamination mitigation measures in the drilling and casing, I am afraid it would be Treaty Shareholders who get wiped out in the event of any contamination.
