The Panama Canal Authority's plan to dam the Indio River raises concerns about flooding villages and altering the river's flow downstream. The project aims to secure water for the canal's operations and provide basic services to remote communities. Despite potential benefits like jobs and infrastructure, residents fear the river's transformation and uncertainty about relocation and property rights. The canal administration's reputation for trustworthy projects contrasts with the federal government's track record, leading to mixed views on the dam's potential impact on the affected communities.
