Basin Management Guidelines for Nicaragua

GWP Central America signed an agreement with the National Water Authority of Nicaragua (Autoridad Nacional del Agua - ANA) to help prepare guidelines for basin management plans. The agreement, signed October 14, 2011, is a contribution to the implementation of the Water Law approved in 2007.

On December 5 2011, ANA and GWP Nicaragua organized the first workshop with representatives from many sectors. The main purpose of the meeting was to analyse the technical requirements established in the Water Law, as well as to discuss experiences that have been implemented for the sustainable management of basins as a basis for preparing the first draft of the guidelines.
