Rainfall is increasingly erratic in Nicaragua, and the long periods of drought are spelling trouble for famers. They're forced to depend on expensive water pumps in order to irrigate their fields and provide water for their livestock. The solution for Nicaragua's dry land comes from the sun. A German teacher in Nicaragua worked together with the local population to create solar-powered water pumps. At first, they were gifted to some farmers, but now landowners have to pay for the pumps themselves. Still, it's a worthy investment: in the long-term, solar-powered irrigation systems end up being much cheaper than the alternative. The project is expected to be profitable in just two years and save on diesel fuel costs as well. And the biggest bonus for the farmers? They can plant crops all year round.

A sunny future awaits farmers in Nicaragua as solar power ensures that their water pumps operate at full capacity, helping their crops flourish. Since no diesel is required for the new technology, it also helps limit damage to the environment.
