Condition of the land

The score, 0 to 100. 100 is land of its kind that people have left alone.

68 reads partly converted (48 to 77). The range, 52 to 84, is where its two measures disagree; 81% of it stays partly converted.

This is working land, far from what it once was. Decide what it is for before money goes in.

Read from two measures

Unchanged66

How little people have changed it, from roads and buildings to fields and lights.

Unconverted70

How much of it is not fields, buildings, or missing the forest it would carry.

The score sits between the two.

Trees now 39%. Left alone, about 70%.

Screened for Canas, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, not for this land: a planning prompt. A site study settles the land itself. The sea is 22 km away, so the coastal rows do not apply to this land.

StrengthA watercourse runs through the parcel. A mapped river or stream crosses the parcel (Río Corobicí).
RiskDry spells are projected to run about 80 days by 2050. Longest yearly run of days under 1 mm of rain projected near 80 days, longer than today's 76-day spell (today's run from the CHIRPS rain record, the change from the climate models).
UnknownJurisdiction is part of the parcel. Costa Rica · Guanacaste · Cañas — canton HDI 0.728 (2022, PNUD/UCR), 20,816 people in the governing unit.
First moveBuild a water budget sized to the projected dry spell, not the annual average.
