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.
New advances in key projects of the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 for 2024, which is expected to be a busy year in its two tranches. The last step has been the approval of the public information files of the projects of El Señorío (in Castejón, Navarra) and the improvement of flood resilience - phase 1 between Osera de Ebro and Fuentes de Ebro, in Zaragoza.
The actions have made significant progress with the closing of the main interventions in the town of Alfaro, in La Rioja, and the start of actions in section 2 of the project, in the province of Zaragoza.
The first action will reduce the exposure to flooding of the irrigation system of the Irrigation Community of the Huerta del Ebro, an intervention carried out by the Government of Aragon, to define the actions has been counted throughout the process with the users through the stable groups of participation of the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project
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.
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.
The actions planned for the river and the proposals for participation and capacity building have passed through the plenary and parallel sessions of the IV Iberian Congress on River Restoration, the most important event on river restoration in Spain and Portugal.
