Rivers for Life 3: the Third International Meeting of Dam-Affected People and Their Allies was held from October 1-7, 2010 in Temacapulín, Mexico. Over 300 representatives from dam-affected communities, NGOs and other groups from across the globe gathered to share experiences, develop collective strategies and strengthen the international movement to protect rivers and human rights.
