Water Basin Councils
The Water Basin Councils, integrated and represented by the respective Sub-Basin and Micro-Basin Councils, are bodies for the coordination and consultation of the actions of public and private agents involved in the multisectorial management of the basin. They are entities empowering the community to ensure citizen participation in compliance with the Law, policies and plans for water management. Furthermore, they aim to propose and implement programs and actions for better water management, the development of hydraulic infrastructure and the protection, conservation and preservation of water resources in the basin. By 2016, Honduras recorded 3 Basin Councils, 4 Sub-Basin Councils, and 2 Micro-Basin Councils.
