Resumen
Sustainable development is a term that has been used in recent years and that has to do with the integration of economic, social and environmental considerations in some way contributes to the progress of communities. This, in order to ensure the supply and maximize the use of renewable natural resources, while the negative effects associated with its use are minimized. Within these projects are those based on the use of water resources to increase the benefit of society, improving the living conditions of people. One of the most important and controversial, is the artificial water storage produced by damming a river, known as reservoir. Reservoirs have people for and against the benefits and impacts generated from construction. Among the former are: water storage, flow regulation, flood control, hydropower, water supply (for human consumption and irrigation) and promotion of aquaculture. Among the negative effects are: flooding of land, climate change, socio - cultural and changes in water quality (eutrophication, dissolved oxygen and pH). In order to increase profits and reduce impacts, reservoirs can be multipurpose, ie, that are designed to meet several objectives, such as flood control, tourism, sports and recreation, culture, hydroelectric generation and supply water. Furthermore, reservoirs can also be an object, which means that they are designed to meet a single end. This type of reservoirs is less efficient, because the use of stored water and flooded land is not optimized.
It is for this that he must find a way to make the reservoirs are accepted by society at large and that are sustainable. Therefore, it is necessary that the reservoirs that are made in the future are within the parameters of design criteria related to sustainable development in order to maximize the welfare of future generations, without affecting current generations.

In the river map of a reservoir project will be implemented in order to promote energy sector and industrial area Caimalito (Virginia).
The main approaches for this project are tourism, culture and environmental improvement; thus achieving the overall progress of the area and the quality of life of its inhabitants.
When the reservoir is looking to strengthen the economy and the towns of Viterbo Sanctuary and generate spaces for recreation and sport.
According to the above the foundation is to benefit the public by creating interactive science and technology parks, viewpoints and tourist corridors (bike paths, equinorutas, footpaths), plus lodging, museums, restaurants, lodges, recreational and sports centers etc. that make them viable River multipurpose project Map.
