River management and environmental issues in Spain

Overview

River management and environmental issues have been reported across various Spanish regions. In Viana do Bolo, the Confederación Hidrográfica del Miño‑Sil is conducting restoration work following heavy rains in June, which included repairing the Espinilla river dam and clearing debris. Meanwhile, a jurisdictional dispute has emerged in Melilla regarding the Río de Oro, as the Confederación Hidrográfica del Guadalquivir has not clarified whether urban or agricultural sections fall under its authority.

Other regional reports highlight ecological and maintenance concerns. In Segovia, activists have denounced the drying of the Moros River due to interrupted ecological flow from the Los Ángeles de San Rafael reservoir, resulting in significant mortality of fish and crustaceans. In Valencia, cleaning operations were conducted in the old Túria riverbed to remove metallic waste, alongside construction of a new pedestrian and cycle path. Additionally, cleaning efforts were reported in Aljaraque to prevent flooding, and environmental complaints were filed in Coín regarding solar park construction and its impact on soil and vegetation.
