Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

As part of the National River Restoration (ENRR), it has been selected 10 river reaches of the Confederation Júcar (CHJ), in which restoration projects will be developed. One of these sections corresponds to the Turia River in a stretch of 15.6 km upstream of the Turia Natural Park. The purpose of the restoration of that reach is the recovery of good ecological status, required for the WFD by 2015. Thus, the actions proposed are targets in the short and long term, all framed in ENRR and the WFD. The main project objectives are, in short term, conditioning of DPH to improve the functioning natural hydraulic channel; increase river mobility space; conservation of riparian ecosystems; maintenance and improvement of current vegetation conditions; control of exotic vegetation; increased diversity of plant cover; improving the mobility of fish fauna; landscaping adjustment and environmental restoration of degraded areas; social use. Long term: Improve the river dynamics; enhancement of riparian forest development; improving the aquatic environment and associated land to allow regeneration and diversification of the fauna; promoting social use of the river more attractive and environmentally; promote integration of use policies and land management with the use and management of rivers, with sustainability criteria.
