Invasive Species Eradication in Barranco del Poyo
Year launched:
2018
Location:
Barranco del Poyo, Albufera de Valencia, Spain
Type of project:
Ecosystems and Biodiversity
CAPs generated:
1275
CAPs available:
0 CAPs
Description:
Hydrological rehabilitation and ecological restoration in Barranco del Poyo, the main tributary of the Albufera Natural Park in Valencia. The project focuses on eradicating Arundo donax (giant reed), an invasive species that consumes excessive water and degrades local habitats. Since 2018, efforts have included removing the species, reducing evapotranspiration-induced water loss, and restoring natural river flow. In 2023, maintenance work continued with mechanical and manual removal of reed shoots across 7.26 hectares, followed by native species reforestation and waste cleanup.
Project benefits:
Improved Water Availability: Reduces invasive species’ water consumption and restores natural river flow | Enhanced Biodiversity: Removal of giant reed revives habitats for native flora/fauna. Reforestation with native species and waste cleanup stabilize the ecosystem, fostering sustainability.
Floodplain Restoration in Belvis del Jarama
Year launched:
2021
Location:
Belvís del Jarama, Madrid, Spain
Type of project:
Water Resilience
CAPs generated:
776
CAPs available:
0 CAPs
Description:
Restoration of the Belvis del Jarama floodplain to reconnect the river ecosystem, restore biodiversity, and enhance aquifer recharge. This initiative focuses on ecological recovery through targeted interventions to improve hydrological functionality and foster long-term environmental sustainability
Project benefits:
Revitalizes a critical aquatic ecosystem, enabling biodiversity regeneration and reestablishment of natural hydrological cycles | Promotes environmental recovery post-prolonged drought conditions, supporting sustainable water management in the region | Enhances local biodiversity by removing invasive species and reforesting with native flora, creating a balanced and healthier habitat.

Environmental adaptation of a section of the Llobregat River: Implementation of an aquifer recharge system
Year launched:
2020
Location:
Molins de Rei, Barcelona, Spain
Type of project:
Water efficiency
CAPs generated:
Coming Soon
CAPs available:
Coming Soon CAPs
Description:
Encouraging managed recharge by directing river water into a diversion channel that infiltrates into the aquifer through basins. This aims to improve both the quantitative and chemical status of the aquifer and ensure water supply for various uses, especially during drought periods. This project is part of the European AQUIFER INTERREG SUDOE project and has been approved by the Catalan Water Agency.
Project benefits:
Enhances the quantitative and chemical quality of the Llobregat aquifer through managed recharge, supporting groundwater resource sustainability. – Boosts water availability for various uses, which is especially important during droughts, thereby improving water security. – The intervention along the Llobregat River includes environmental enhancements to improve the health and functionality of the river’s ecosystems.

Water recovery in the Llobregat river basin
Year launched:
2023
Location:
Barcelona, España
Type of project:
Water Reuse
CAPs generated:
8.553 CAPs for 2023
CAPs available:
1.109 CAPs for 2025 CAPs
Description:
The production of regenerated water is set to increase from approximately 50.3 hm³ in 2022 to an anticipated 68 hm³ per year by 2028. – This project aims to enhance the capacity to swiftly adapt and recover from impacts caused by extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods.
Project benefits:
– Converts used water into a resource that can be safely and sustainably reused. – Regenerated water can be applied to agricultural and forestry irrigation, public and private green space irrigation, aquifer recharge, street and public space cleaning, industrial refrigeration, fire fighting, non-food industrial uses, and environmental conservation and protection.
