This report, prepared for the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico, contains a conservation management plan for the Rio Piedras around Puerto Rico's first aqueduct. We assessed the ecological health of the watershed and identified flora to determine the best plan of action in order to restore and conserve the river basin. The plan includes recommendations for the conservation approach, the control of urban dumping, the prevention of erosion, and the introduction of native species.
