Obrajuelo village residents wash at Lake Nicaragua (“Cocibolca”) in San Jorge October 3, 2014. Locals are worried that the lake will be contaminated after it was announced that the Interoceanic Grand Canal will be built across the lake, local media said. Chinese businessman Wang Jing sealed a controversial no-bid 50-year renewable concession from Nicaragua's Sandinista government in 2013 to develop the $50 billion canal to rival Panama's, and related facilities.
