    Key features of the case study

    Site description

    Attention: the source of the following text is the Chícamo river project web site[1]:

    It is located within the SCI of the Chícamo River (SCI ES6200028) . There are 8 habitats of community interest. The Chícamo River rises near Macisvenda, a small village belonging to the Abanilla municipal district, one of the most arid places in Murcian Region, which gives this scenery a special peculiarity.
    It is a permanent flow river stretch with related temporary watercourses and wetlands. You can find different community plants such as Nerium oleander (Rosebay), Tamarix boveana and Tamarix canariensis ; also, some endemic plants as Sideritis leucantha and Thymus moroderi .
    In terms of fauna, stands out Spanish toothcarp ( Aphanius iberus ), the only presence of this species in continental courses in Murcian Region, and the invertebrate Coenagrion mercuriale (Southern Damselfly), both including on Annex II of Directive 92/43/CEE; as well as Himantopus himantopus ( Black-winged Stilt) , included on Annex I of Directive 79/409/CEE.
    The “Chícamo” River source is a natural river stretch with a length of bed fewer than 3.5 km , 1.5 m of average width and no more than 75 cm of depth.
