On April 28, Fuenteros and neighbors from nearby towns enjoyed a walk along the meander of Aguilar, in the Ebro river in Fuentes, in an informative and recreational day organized by the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 project.
The Autonomous Communities of the middle stretch of the Ebro, members of the Ebro Resilience Strategy and partners of the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project have launched lines of aid for private individuals and local entities, aimed at protection and adaptation to flood risk included in the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, the example being the publication of aid from the Government of La Rioja on April 12.
Up to 40 technical colleagues from state and regional river basin organizations have learned first-hand about the Project's ongoing actions and its pioneering proposal for social participation, during the conferences held on April 10 and 11.
The restoration of vegetation that is being carried out with vegetation typical of the Ebro riverbank in this channel, created during the morphological adaptation, gives us the excuse to talk about this type of intervention.
The last week of February has seen a flood of flows in the middle stretch of the Ebro due to the rains recorded in the Ebro basin, an episode at the limit of what is considered extraordinary that leaves us these images of the response of the Ebro Resilience intervention typologies in this stretch
The Project organizes an open forum on future uses in this meander that will recover its function as a natural space, a public activity that was also carried out to gather proposals in the meander of La Roza, in Alfaro.
The laying of the new concrete pipe, with a total length of 2,300 meters in this phase, which moves this infrastructure away from the riverbed in the Huerta del Ebro Irrigation Community, is in progress.
- These works are being carried out by the Government of La Rioja and will involve the planting of more than 4,600 specimens of riparian species imitating the natural growth of riparian vegetation.
In 2023, the meando de La Roza has inaugurated a new wetland area integrated in the morphological adaptation carried out through the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project, in addition to the one created in 2020 in La Nava as part of the actions of the Ebro Resilience Strategy.
