President of the Segura basin (CHS), José Salvador Fuentes Zorita, visited the town of Bullas, where, accompanied by the town's mayor, Esteban Egea, has traveled the two works included in the Spanish Plan for Stimulus Economy and Employment (Plan E) running the basin organization that environmentally retrieved the Ravine of the Councillor and the Fountain of Rafa with an investment of 1.6 billion euros and an implementation period of 6 months both performances.
The project in the Source of the Rafa, whose investment amounts to the amount of 1,098,602.51 euros, will restore an area environmentally is very degraded, mainly due to pollution and manipulation of man.
The Government of Spain through the CHS, aims to foster a reunion of people with the world river, allowing the enjoyment of landscapes, historical and cultural heritage values so as to maintain the collective memory about the importance of this source, and increase the quality of life in the district level.
Also taking into account the functionality of the work so that not only recovers a zone but promote recreational use as walking or other sports like cycling.
The main actions to achieve the aforementioned objectives include the creation of patches of riparian vegetation, which are based on the clearing of invasive vegetation and revegetation of the slopes with tree and shrub species of shore features.
Likewise, the CHS will create a walk with cobbled pedestrian bike path albero, differentiated by a natural rustic stone curb.
The pedestrian zone is protected by a stone wall on both sides with wrought iron railing.
In addition, recover the channel section and proceed to the subject of slopes with a natural stone veneer ground, imitating the old canal, while the water level recovered by bottom sealing and recirculation channel water through a manhole and pumping system.
Finally, the CHS will develop a network of information panels on the natural environment (flora and fauna) of the source and its historical significance in the town of Bullas.
Barranco de la Councillor
With regard to environmental performance in the gorge of "Councillor", the CHS will invest 501,000 euros in building a road and forestry work, the adaptation and improvement of roads, improvement of the Northwest Greenway in this area, and the construction of a parking area.
First, the basin organization runs the hiking trail in the area of the gully, manually removing waste and debris from the runway.
After this cleaning, CHS silvicultural work carried out, so you can run more comfortably the rest of work, and avoid damage to remnant vegetation.
These actions provide for the implementation of clear and thinning of the woodlands in poor plant health (mainly trees affected by fungal infection process) and to invasive vegetation, while the height of the trees pruned to favor remaining postage and good future development of the vegetation.
Following the implementation of forestry work, proceed to the formation of the trail within the forest area of the Rambla of the Councillor, which includes several phases: the first step being the formation of a platform with a continuous meandering average width of 2 meters, ensuring that the platform of the path will not cause negative impact on local vegetation and the landscape.
Besides the formation of the platform of the path, there were two seating areas, as reflected in the mapping, for which you also have to do the grading in the first place by mini backhoe and small machinery.
After the opening of the platform where the path will settle and rest areas, the CHS geotextile mesh placed 2 mm to prevent outbreak of vegetation within the area for human traffic.
Subsequently, these areas are coated with 15 inches of granular material forming the path.
To enable a route closed, adapt and improve the roads adjacent to the boardwalk area with a contribution of a volume of 20 cm artificial gravel compacted to optimum moisture.
Another action to be performed is the opening of ditches, as currently most of the roads are frightened or lack of them.
Finally, to ensure the longest life of the road, run 10 steps of water with their chests and mouths, made with reinforced concrete pipe does not require concreting the bottom and the top of the pipe.
In addition, culverts shall consist of the corresponding chest and mouth.
These small works of masonry careada be made to give priority to the aesthetic appearance of the same, and avoid creating elements that alter the landscape.
The type of concrete to be used for the creation of works of masonry is the 200 (20N/mm ²).
Improving the Northwest Greenway
Improving the area through which passes the Northwest Greenway includes the placement of a wooden fence to boundary of the area, thus channeling the movement of people.
In addition to fencing, the CHS run two entrances on either side of the zone of adequacy of the avenue to facilitate passage through the hiking trail.
These accesses are carried out with careada concrete stairs and fencing of the same features of the greenway area.
Finally, CHS made a parking area on a plot next to the highway and right next to the access to it.
This action consists of the formation of the esplanade, a contribution of 25 cm artificial gravel optimum moisture and compacted asphalt triple therapy.
