Kuvaus:The Reventazon River has undergone multiple interventions, in order to obtain from its waters, the energy that sustains an important part of the country's electricity matrix. As part of working teams in environmental management at the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE), it was my responsibility to participate in environmental impact studies of electrical development projects in the Reventazon river basin, with the opportunity to integrate knowledge and experiences to identify measures to avoid and mitigate impacts, as well as propose options for compensation of residual impacts. The definition of an environmental flow based on a holistic methodology, which resulted in a change in the design of the project, as well as the development and execution of a compensation model, in which was defined the commitment to conserve the river Parismina, as a river without barriers, constitutes two initiatives promoted by ICE that place it as a referent in the environmental management of the country.
