Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The project aims to naturalize the river area without removing the structures present scenically functionality and integrating functional. In addition to correcting erosive effects observed in slopes due to excessive slope and drains poorly resolved. The main project objectives are to consolidate and eliminate erosion on slopes using new bioengineering techniques; scenically integrated the collector into the river area by removing the concrete channel and creating a vegetated protection; eliminate nonfunctional structures and restore the natural morphology; new plantations along the length of the channel affected by the works. The project has a total budget of 22.811,72€ and is financed by Sport Assistance, S.L.
