The project is focused in three mountain rivers in the Southern Pyrenees (NE Iberian Peninsula)
The Upper Cinca and the Upper Ésera. A river reach of around 13 km in each river is monitored and sampled to obtain data on flow hydraulics, sediment transport, channel morphology and bed sedimentology, bed entrainment, benthic communities, macroinvertebrate drift and water physico-chemical data.
The Upper Cinca has 3 monitoring stations in operation registering flow data, water turbidity and temperature; one upstream where the hydropeaks are generated and the other two downstream. The Ésera, however, although the data that are acquired is the same, all stations are located downstream where the hydropeaks are generated. Additionally, water stage and temperature probes are installed occasionally when hydropeaks are intensively monitored. See all monitoring stations here.
Finally, a river reach in the Noguera Pallaresa is also included (Figure extracted from here).
These are just to illustrate. A full list of the methods applied including data acquisition and post-processing is included in the Deliverables section.
