After a year of work, this phase of the intervention in Alfaro (La Rioja) by the CHE has concluded and all that remains is the river restoration to be carried out by the Government of La Rioja.
The LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project has presented in Cartagena a summary poster of the project and an article explaining the positive results expected from the interventions, reducing the risk of flooding and recovering 60 hectares of river space.
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.
In addition to the winning photograph, five runner-up prizes were awarded to the photographs with the highest number of votes. The Ebro Resilience Strategy once again invited its community to participate in the 2nd Edition of the Ebro Resilience Photo […]
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 Government of Navarra, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), has called for grants for actions to adapt to the risk of flooding of buildings, equipment and facilities or existing farms in the Ebro Basin.
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.
