Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Tordera River as it passes through the town of Tordera has lost the dynamism that was a few years ago, leaving behind an oxbow on the left. The main objectives are improve lateral and longitudinal connectivity, both hydrological and biological, improving the diversity of habitats in the river system, restore riparian plant communities and minimize flood risk .
