HydroEurope - WS 2023/24 TEAM 4
Welcome to the exciting world of our passionate group of students! We're a dynamic team of 11 young minds from diverse geographical, cultural and educational backgrounds. United by a common ambition, we have undertaken the HydroEurope project.
Our field of study, the Tordera basin in Spain, provides the ideal setting for exploring the complex intricacies of climate change.
The Tordera, also known as La Tordera in Catalan, is an emblematic river in Catalonia, Spain, flowing through the picturesque town of Tordera.
Stretching over a distance of 55 kilometers , this river originates in the Montseny massif before majestically joining the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. With an average flow of 5.01 cubic meters per second, the Tordera draws its vitality from major tributaries such as the Riera de Gualba, the Riera de Arbúcies, the Riera de Santa Coloma and the Riera de Valmanya.
The Tordera's ecosystem is further enhanced by its passage through crucially important protected areas, including the Parc Natural del Montseny and the Parc Natural del Montnegre i el Corredor. In harmony with these preserved environments, the river becomes a natural testimony to Catalonia's ecological wealth, captivating those who travel its banks and explore its watershed.
Our primary objective is clear: to make a success of the HydroEurope project. We are pooling our skills and knowledge to develop relevant, in-depth models to understand the impact of climate change in the Tordera basin. As pioneers committed to preserving our planet, we strive to provide innovative solutions to emerging environmental challenges.
Through our collaboration, we aim to raise awareness and inspire, spreading environmental consciousness beyond the boundaries of our individual journeys.
