Water Resources Assessment of Jamaica circa 2001:

Both Hanover and Westmorland parishes have water aquafers in the limestone deposits.
This study suggests hand pumps vs mechanical pumps.
Mechanical pumps would drain the aquafer too quickly.

NOTE: The repeated statements of water quality through out the report.

All of us are praying for a quick solution to the water crisis in Negril.
