Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The Pisuerga River has a high regulation of the flow regime, which determines an artificial and seasoned flow regime. Also, the massive release of sediments is affected by the presence of weirs, which difficult and blocks the mobility for fish upstream migration and habitat availability. This is the first stage of the total project which involves mitigation and preventive measures. The global objectives are: Improve aquatic habitats and recover aquatic communities; improve longitudinal connectivity; stream bank stabilization; improve the structure and composition of the vegetation. The measures comprise earthworks for bank stabilization (to reduce erosion and sediment input, and facilitate the establishment of vegetation), the installation of fish pass and the rehabilitation of spawning areas. The project has a total budget of 3.135.508 € and is financed by the Ministry of Environment, as part of the National Strategy for River Restoration.
