Prior Consultation of indigenous peoples for administrative delegation of the Térraba Aqueduct
The Consultation of the indigenous peoples for the delegation of the administration of the Aqueduct of Térraba is a process ordered by the Costa Rican Constitutional Chamber to the Costa Rican Institute of Aqueducts and Sewers (Span. AyA) as a means to repair shortcomings in the representation of the communities originating in the area under the agreement for the construction of the Térraba aqueduct. By 2015, the consultation protocol between the Council of elders of the indigenous community and the Costa Rican Institute of Aqueducts and Sewers had still not been validated and concluded.
