Through PHASE 1 of the adaptation to flood risk of an agricultural area of the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 project, which has eliminated the narrowing of the river in the Mejana del Conde and the Meandro de Aguilar.
During the month of October, the LIFE project and the Ebro Resilience Strategy, as a reference in flood management, will be present at the event organized by the European Executive Agency for Climate, Infrastructure and Environment (CINEA) and at the European Week of Regions and Cities
On Saturday, October 4, we will walk through the Ebro copses between Castejón (Navarra) and Alfaro (La Rioja) and on Saturday, October 18, we will walk through the meander of Aguilar, in Fuentes de Ebro, where we will be able to see the works in progress for the adaptation to flooding in this area.
One of the action lines of the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project is social capacity building: increasing shared knowledge on rivers and floods, fostering networking among the riparian population, facilitating common tools to be more resilient, having a reference glossary to use the same terms and understand them, is a step in that direction.
The Interpretation Center 'Los Sotos de Alfaro y sus Cigüeñas' hosts this photographic exhibition linked to the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project and focuses on adaptation to floods through nature-based solutions and can be visited free of charge until September 21.
A new video LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 shows the effects of floods when they are encountered with narrowing of the river due to the presence of defenses and explains in a simple way the proposals for adaptation to flooding of agriculture associated with the river area.
This irrigation campaign, which began in the spring, is the first in which the Irrigation Community of the Huerta del Ebro, in Fuentes de Ebro (Zaragoza), has made use of the new section of its network adapted to the risk of flooding, more efficient, moreover, in which losses and maintenance have been reduced.
The objective of this meeting was to establish with them the contents of a training course for this crucial sector for the dissemination to society and also to give them a guided tour of the exhibition “When the river recovers its space” so that they have the keys to be the ones to explain it to those interested.
The riparian population and stakeholders are key in the development of LIFE Ebro Resilience actions and this has been fulfilled in the intervention of reopening and reconnection of river branches in this Riojan forest that we have visited, once the work has been completed, with the protagonists of this process.
