Panama Canal Presents Indian River Project

The Panama Canal presented the Río Indio project to the Panama-German Chamber of Commerce. This initiative is part of long-term strategies to address water challenges and ensure the sustainability of the resource for the benefit of the Isthmus and international maritime trade.

The main objective of this project is to secure the water supply for the operation of the Panama Canal, considering the vital importance of this resource for the interoceanic route. The presentation to the Panama-German Chamber of Commerce aims to involve various sectors in developing solutions to strengthen water management in the region.

In the words of Rafael Sabonge, administrator of the Panama Canal Authority, "it is essential to have a comprehensive and sustainable vision of the water resource, allowing us to face present and future challenges." This public-private collaboration is key to finding innovative alternatives that ensure water supply in the area.

The Río Indio project seeks to efficiently utilize the water resources of the region through the construction of infrastructures that allow for strategic storage and distribution of water. This will contribute not only to the functioning of the Panama Canal but also to the economic and social development of the area.

The active participation of the Panama-German Chamber of Commerce in the discussion and promotion of this project demonstrates the shared commitment of various stakeholders in seeking sustainable water solutions. This collaboration is an important step towards the protection of a vital resource for Panama and for international trade.
