An activity organized by the Colegio de Ingenieros Técnicos de Obras Públicos de Aragón and the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project to present the new concept of flood management in the middle stretch of the Ebro.
The work on the new underground pipeline, far from the bed of the Huerta del Ebro Irrigation Community (Zaragoza), is focused on the last kilometer of the infrastructure and is being carried out on dates that do not interfere with the irrigation campaign.
The first phase of the new pipeline for the irrigation system of the Huerta del Ebro Irrigation Community, in Fuentes de Ebro, Zaragoza, has been completed, reaching 1,350 meters of this infrastructure. During the last week of April, a test run of the installation was carried out, with satisfactory results, and it could be used by its users immediately.
The scarcity of winter rains has allowed progress to be made on the work, but unfortunately it is detrimental to crops. For this reason, temporary irrigation has been set up in the fields surrounding the works to save crops, in agreement with the irrigation community and in keeping with the Project's spirit of participation and cooperation.
