After a year of work, this phase of the intervention in Alfaro (La Rioja) by the CHE has concluded and all that remains is the river restoration to be carried out by the Government of La Rioja.
The LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project collaborated in the organization of this session aimed at journalists and journalism students, one of the main sectors to prepare the population for flood risk, to increase their knowledge of this phenomenon and to explain and inform about adaptation actions.
We gathered the co-creation group dedicated to mitigation and adaptation actions in zone 2, the Osera de Ebro - Fuentes de Ebro section, to present the proposal for the lateral buffer zones.
The LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project has presented in Cartagena a summary poster of the project and an article explaining the positive results expected from the interventions, reducing the risk of flooding and recovering 60 hectares of river space.
During this time the meander of La Roza, in Alfaro, has been recovered as a river space and has generated a new protected area in La Rioja and more than 40 participatory actions have been carried out, most of them related to new forms of involvement of the population that represent a milestone at European level.
Stakeholders were able to learn in detail about the planned intervention to reduce the risk of flooding, future environmental restoration and participatory actions.
In addition to this meeting with the representatives of the city councils, a public information day has been organized for the first week of September, which will include a visit to the intervention area.
The main ingredients of the actions of the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project, participation in the whole process of defining solutions to reduce the risk of flooding and the combination of actions after a detailed study of alternatives, are applied in interventions outside the Resilience territory, in actions of the National Strategy for River Restoration in other parts of the Ebro basin.
