Monte Lirio is a corregimiento (subdistrict) in Renacimiento District, Chiriquí Province, Panama. It has a land area of 43.8 square kilometres (16.9 sq mi) and had a population of 2,771 as of 2010, giving it a population density of 63.2 inhabitants per square kilometre (164/sq mi).[1] Its population as of 1990 was 4,807; its population as of 2000 was 6,652.[1]
The government of Panama under Martín Torrijos Espino approved numerous hydroelectric projects on the Río Viejo Chiriquí. Several were underway as of 2010. Up to 90% of the water in the watershed can be used for electrical generation, which can be used domestically or sold to other countries.[2] According to an environmental impact study performed for the Pando and Monte Lirio hydroelectric projects there might have been some environmental impacts: changes habitat due to less erosion, changes in hydrology and disruption of the river, potentially more water use due to increased ecotourism and rafting activities.[3]
