Stakeholders were able to learn in detail about the planned intervention to reduce the risk of flooding, future environmental restoration and participatory actions.
In addition to this meeting with the representatives of the city councils, a public information day has been organized for the first week of September, which will include a visit to the intervention area.
In addition to reducing the risk of flooding in the middle stretch of the Ebro, the Strategy aims to improve the ecological status of the intervention sections, such as this intervention, which will maintain the use of the infrastructure by improving the longitudinal continuity of the river.
The works have had a budget of 1,432,467 € and 6.4 hectares of river space have been recovered with plantations of native riverside species, reaching 12,000 specimens.
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.
We celebrate the European Day of the Natura 2000 Network. The land reclaimed for the river, a total of 22 hectares, has been incorporated into the Natura 2000 Network "ZEC Sotos y Riberas del Ebro" through Decree 46/2022 of August 17 of the Government of La Rioja.
Through scientific communications and case studies in the plenary of the congress, posters on specific actions and presence in spaces for reflection, the innovative approach to flood risk reduction will have a special role in this event, next June, in Toledo.
We held the open forum on future recreational uses on the land of this meander recovered as a space for the river with the participation of new stakeholders in the adaptation measures and natural spaces.
