Climate change impact in Riverlink

Flow regulation increase is needed

Less riparian forest (<biodiversity) Giant reed (Arundo donax L.) area have enlarged

Reducing water resources in Segura river basin in last 30 years

Page 8: SEGURA RIVERLINK · 2018. 1. 13. · Segura river basin is one of the areas more affected in all Europe about the climate change impact, in two aspects: Reduction in water resources

Adaptation and mitigation Riparian forest reduce risk of floodin (speed)

Guadalentín river, Murcia

Reduction of sediments in the rivers

Arundo donax obstructs the bridges in the floodings

Challenges Riverlink and climate change

Reduce the cost to recover the riparian forest

Explain the local population the benefits of the riparian forest

High regulation needed have caused the increment of non native species

Fish passes will improve the barbel (Luciobarbus sclateri) communities

Conclusions Segura river basin is one of the areas more affected in all Europe about the climate change impact, in two aspects:

Reduction in water resources Increment of the flash flooding

Remove barriers will

benefit barbel expansion in the basin

Increment the riparian connectivity with the

riparian forest is decisive in the adaptation to the

climate change.
