Led by the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), the project involves damming the Indio River to create a new freshwater reservoir. This water will be pumped into Gatun Lake, the canal's primary source, resulting in the flooding of 4,600 hectares and the relocation of approximately 2,500 people. EPA/BIENVENIDO VELASCO
