Guatemala and Honduras water management efforts

Overview

Guatemala and Honduras are advancing binational environmental management efforts to recover the Motagua River Basin. Supported by the United Nations Development Programme and the Global Environment Facility, technical teams are conducting field assessments in Honduras to monitor reforestation and hydrological-forest restoration projects.

Concurrently, Guatemala is addressing domestic water pollution by approving 120 wastewater treatment plant projects across several departments. These initiatives aim to mitigate contamination in rivers, lakes, and aquifers through physical, biological, and chemical treatment processes, facilitating the safe reuse of water for irrigation and industry.
