Key features of the case study

Attention: the source of the following text is "Estudio de técnicas de restauración ecológica aplicada a los principales habitat(MARM, 2010).

The Carrión river restoration located in Fresno del Río and Pino del Río (Palencia) covered a river reach with maximum flows between 218 and 527 m³/s, which is regulated by Camporredondo and Compuerto dams. The minimum flows is about 2 m³/s, set by the Confederación Hidrográfica del Duero. The concern about this reach was due to shore erosion and the lack of refuge for trout.
