Panama Advances Long-Term Water Infrastructure Planning

Panama’s drought and water-security challenges have increased attention on infrastructure that can protect freshwater supplies for households, agriculture and canal operations. Reporting published on 20 October described the approximately $1.5 billion Indio River reservoir project as a major long-term investment intended to strengthen water resilience. Engineering firms, construction companies and water-technology providers can monitor opportunities involving reservoirs, water treatment, irrigation and infrastructure maintenance. The project’s reported value is an overall investment estimate and should not be treated as a contract awarded during the week.
