The government will restore 3,000 kilometers of river by 2030 with an investment of $2,500 million.

15 years after its inception, MITECO considers it necessary to undertake a second development phase of the ENRR to update the objectives and development mechanisms of the Strategy and adapt it to the development of water, biodiversity and European and Spanish regulations. risk management.

For this reason, this document now subject to public consultation It contains the main reflections of the ENRR and the lines of action for its revision. The deadline for submitting comments to the text ends on December 16, 2022.

Then, in accordance with the National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change, it will be approved by the Council of Ministers in connection with the budget items of the Recovery, Transition and Resilience Plan (PRTR) and European programs and will be implemented through different administrations. FEDER and LIFE.

76 projects currently in progress or ongoing

The strategy began in 2005 with an action plan based on the diagnosis of the problems of Spanish rivers.. Since then, 76 restoration projects with green infrastructure actions and nature-based solutions have been or are being undertaken in inter-community river basin districts.

These projects made it possible to improve the fluvial continuity of Spanish rivers. Demolition of 621 weirs, disused dams and construction of 574 fish passes.

The Basin Hydrological Plans of Phase Three and the Flood Risk Management Plans of the second cycle are clearly dependent on river restoration as hydromorphological pressures are one of the most important typologies to exist in Spanish rivers.

The impact of climate change on fluvial hydromorphology and stream vegetation affects Stream ecosystems mainly through flow regime change and increased erosion, as outlined in the National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change.
