The Life Project "Rehabilitation of a riverbed contaminated by heavy metals by means of phytoextraction" aims to evaluate, demonstrate and disseminate a sustainable alternative for the environmental and landscape recovery of a contaminated stretch of 1,500 meters of the River Guadalentín after its passage through the nucleus Urban of Lorca.
For this purpose, the phytoextraction methodology is used, which consists of the environmental restoration of the river bed through the use of this technique, by means of which it is contributed to transfer the heavy metals from the soil to the vegetation, which will be eliminated periodically.
It is important to remember that in the middle of 2015 the cleaning of the channel and the harvesting of the existing vegetation began, to enable the plants to generate new tissues that accumulate higher concentrations of heavy metals, and also they were planted in the areas without vegetation Native species.
In 2016, the plantation was continued in the following sections and during this year all existing and implanted vegetation will be harvested.
In this sense, the biomass harvested will be processed in a plant to the effect, where it will proceed to its combustion.
This will achieve a closed cycle obtaining a zero residue at the end of the process, as the resulting ash will be reused.
The City of Lorca submitted the entire area of ​​action of this project in the river bed to three geotechnical surveys at the end of 2013 to analyze the characteristics of the soil.
The Life + project financed with the contribution of the European Community Life financial instrument is led by the Directorate General for the Environment of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia and has the collaboration of the Segura Hydrographic Confederation, the Universidad Politécnica de Murcia Cartagena and the City of Lorca, assuming a total investment of 1,714,651 euros.
From the Consistory we encourage the population to know the project, thanks to the informative talks that will be developed as well as the information available on the web http://liferiverphy.eu/web and in social networks.
