Science - Environment & Ecology / Water basin organisations
Spanish term or phrase: La Casa del Río
Hi All,

I'm translating a course outline about water basin management, and this term keeps coming up - it is another way of saying "Basin Organisation".

I've had an attempt at it myself "The River's Home", but I think there must be a globally accepted translation, but I can't seem to find it.

If you know of the officially recognised translation, please let me know!

Thanks

Darren

River Stewardship Organization or Body
Explanation:
"Stewardship" is a term applied to the sustainable management of ecologically valuable environments

Here is an explanation of the Spanish term:
El Organismo de Cuenca, también definido como La Casa del Río, ancla sus raíces filosóficas en los movimientos regionalistas utópicos de comienzos del siglo XX. Su concepción del desarrollo bien podría asimilarse a los actuales movimientos ecologistas moderados en los que priman los aspectos culturales, ambientales y territoriales sobre las visiones propiamente económicas.
