LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 starts field sessions for owners and tenants of plots of land to be integrated in the future Lateral Flow Buffer Zones, an innovative intervention to adapt agricultural land to the Ebro floods.
The LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project organized a conference, mainly aimed at stakeholders of the Irrigation Community of La Huerta del Ebro, to inform about the measures proposed to reduce damage in extraordinary floods and that have European funding and the state and regional administrations.
- This April, one of the most attractive lines of actions for strengthening social capacities and increasing knowledge about the river was launched. Journalism students from the faculties of Aragon, high school students from Alfaro and Castejón or technicians from other projects have already made interpretative descents with us.
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.
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.
On April 28th, an informative guided tour on the Ebro River and the risk of flooding will be organized. During the morning we will go through the meander of Aguilar, in the municipality of Fuentes de Ebro. There, we will see birds, learn about the works to be carried out and some concepts of fluvial dynamics. Sign up.
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.
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.
