An overview of projects and missions in the Antilles
This recent aerial shows construction progress on the Río de la Plata project. The river flows by the municipality of Dorado, about 15 miles west of San Juan on the northern coast of Puerto Rico. Looking upstream, the photo shows channel excavation and placement of stone revetment (right), while the river flows through a temporary diversion channel to the left. The revetment will slow the velocity of storm water coming from the mountains upstream and prevent erosion of the banks.
