Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Human activities in the Guadiamar river basin have a negative effect on the conservation of this natural setting, the main tributary of the Doñana Natural Area. The olive tree is the main species cultivated. Agrochemicals and suspended matter reach the river through runoff and groundwater flow. The combination of inefficient farming techniques with terrain features contributing to increased erosion. The main objectives of this project are: Enhance the use of agricultural techniques that respect the environment; improve the sustainability of farms through the efficient use of land and water resources; reduce pollution of surface water and groundwater pollutants from agricultural activities; increase participation in conservation espacion Natura 2000 network. The project has a total budget of 789.693€ and is financed by LIFE project (394.797 €), Government of Andalusia and ASAJA (Association of Young Farmers of Seville).
