Nansa River. Morphological and functional restoration of the Nansa River at Muñorrodero
Key features of the case study
The lower reach of the Nansa River was channelized in 1995 in Muñorrodero. As a result of this, its former right branch lost its connection with the main channel, although its morphology remained virtually unchanged. This situation led to a loss of acuatic and riparian habitats.
The project was designed by the Confederación Hidrográfica del Cantábrico, executed by TRAGSA with the financing of the Spanish Ministry of the Environment. The objective was to restore the former morphology and fluvial dynamics in the Nansa River.
