Remedios River

The Strategic Plan for the restoration of the Remedios River is a planning tool. It aims at conserving, restoring, and improving both the river and the surrounding areas based on the analysis of four lines of action:

1) Evaluation of possible improvements in water quality through non-traditional solutions;
2) Analysis of the biophysical conditions of the riparian ecosystem; 3) socio-environmental evaluation for the analysis of the creation of linear infrastructure, and 4) risk, threat, and vulnerability through socio-environmental variables.
