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.
- These works are being carried out by the Government of La Rioja and will involve the planting of more than 4,600 specimens of riparian species imitating the natural growth of riparian vegetation.
In 2023, the meando de La Roza has inaugurated a new wetland area integrated in the morphological adaptation carried out through the LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 Project, in addition to the one created in 2020 in La Nava as part of the actions of the Ebro Resilience Strategy.
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.
The LIFE Ebro Resilience P1 project integrates its zone 1, between Alfaro, La Rioja and Castejón, Navarra, in the combined section that includes several proposals such as the reconnection of meanders, relief channels, recovery of old river branches and enlargement of the river space
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.
In addition to the stable participation groups that have been running for over a year and the activities for different sectors included in the capacity building plan, the project has launched these months the first actions of assistance and open participation, expanding the public and involvement with the LIFE proposals.
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 Project is one of the actions included in this new tool of the National Rural Network of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food because of its scope of action and because it is innovative, transferable to other areas and contributes to the improvement of work.
