Last 24th of October, MAiMA researchers, Albert Soler Gil, Rosanna Margalef Marti and Manuela Barbieri visited the Lerma gully basin (province of Zaragoza), our Case Study at the NPP-SOL Project “Modelling and Technological tools to prevent surface and ground-water bodies from agricultural non-point source pollution under Mediterranean conditions”, funded for Spain by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and cofunded by the European Union under the PRIMA Programme.
This time we had the pleasure to be accompanied by the project Coordinator, Antonio Coppola, from Università degli Studi di Cagliari (Italy). Fruitful discussions have arisen and we advanced planning the next steps for different work packages of the project.
A big thanks to Jesus Causapé from Instituto Geológico y Minero de España (IGME-CSIC), one of our main local stakeholders of the project, that guided us to learn more about the hydrological dynamics in the basin.
As usual, we took profit of the occasion to get some water samples from the Constructed Wetland at the study site, that is acting as a Nature-Based Solution to reduce nitrate pollution in surface water from the basin.
