Serious flooding occurred in 2015 and 2018 in the middle section of the Ebro river basin, and the main authorities responsible (the Spanish State, through the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge) and the regional governments of La Rioja, Navarre and Aragon) agreed to implement a series of measures focusing on enhancing the resilience of the river system.
This gave rise to the Ebro Resilience Strategy, the main aim of which is to increase the resilience of the middle section of the Ebro river to floods, by reducing their impact and helping to enhance the state of water masses and riverside habitats. It also has the following specific objectives: to improve the state of river systems by introducing adaptation and natural water retention measures; to involve local and regional actors in implementing the Strategy; increasing the size and enhancing the variety and quality of river habitats in the intervention zones, by applying Natura 2000 network measures; to improve the state of water masses by applying measures to return to the free flow of the river and remove exotic and invasive exotic species; to strengthen social capacities linked to the flood resilience of the population in the intervention zones; and to create habitats for protected species.
