Central America

riversnetwork.org is more than just a map-based archive of watersheds; it is a living space where rivers are remembered and celebrated through the voices of the people who live alongside them. The platform’s “People & Rivers” section invites communities to share their experiences, weaving together stories that highlight how rivers shape culture, livelihoods, and identity. In Central America, this storytelling becomes especially powerful. Here, rivers are not only physical features of the land but also lifelines that sustain agriculture, transport, and daily life, while carrying deep symbolic meaning in local traditions.
