hydrography

In the Darien region watersheds are extensive waterways, sediment, pouring its waters to different rivers such as the Rio Chucunaque (231 km) and the Tuira (230 km), which are both the longest and largest rivers of Panama .

The hydrographic system of Darien recorded a marked minimum in their wealth during the period from March to April, and a maximum in November.

Currently, the use of water resources is largely limited to the provision of water services to 15 towns. The lack of detailed information on topography, hydrometeorology and fluviometría not possible to estimate the hydropower potential, but it is advisable to carry out studies on the rivers for Pirre, Antadó Tuira, Chico and Yape.
