Moqua Well
Template:Short description Template:Infobox lake The Moqua Well is a small underground lake in Nauru.
History
During World War II, Moqua Well was the primary source of drinking water for inhabitants of Nauru.<ref name=wondermondo>"Moqua Caves and Moqua Well", Gatis Pāvils, 30 October 2011.</ref> It is for this reason that the body of water is referred to as a well instead of a lake.<ref name=iexplore>"Nauru – Attractions", iExplore.</ref>
In 2001, Nauruan authorities decided to put up a fence to prevent accidents, after an alcohol-related drowning in the same year.<ref name=wondermondo/><ref name=iexplore/>
Location
The well is located below the Yaren district. The Moqua Well is not well known, one of a few attractions in Nauru. Nearby are the Moqua Caves, a series of caves below Yaren.
Linguistic disambiguation
The name of the well 'Moqua' (sometimes referred to as 'Makwa') is derived from the former name by which Yaren was known.
