Comín 1, Ricardo Sorando 1, Alfonso Calvo 2, Victor Guirado 3, Nadia Darwiche 1 1 Instituto Pirenaico Ecologia-CSIC, Zaragoza, Spain 2 Confederación Hidrográfica del Ebro-MMARM, Zaragoza, Spain 3 KV Consultores, Madrid, Spain Outline Introduction Study area: River Flumen watershed Objective: A Protocol to identify and select zones to create/restore wetlands in irrigated agricultural watesheds Methods: The tools to select and prioritize action zones Results: Selected sites Discussion: Restoration Actions Creation and restoration of aquatic ecosystems to improve water quality and biodiversity
2 Introduction In intensively irrigated agricultural watersheds: -excess of pollutants discharged into rivers causes water quality degradation -wetlands can be efficient systems to retain and remove pollutants from agricultural wastewater, thus contributing to the improvement of the river water and ecosystem. -Planning wetland creation/restoration at watershed scale is required for this purpose: Objetive Establishing a protocol for restoring/creating wetlands at watershed scale to improve water quality and biodiversity.

6 Criteria Protocol steps Tools -Recovering destroyed and degraded wetlands -Agreement with hidrogeomorphic characteristics of wetland sites 1. Identifying potential sites for wetland restoration and creation Land cover Maps SWAT GIS -Absolute and relative importance for removing nitrate discharge to the river -Dimensioning parameters to remove nitrate -Social constraints: Land availability for wetland creation/restoration -Economic constraints: Budget availability for wetland creation/restoration -Design characteristics for the improvement of wetland functions 2. Site selection: adecuacy to accomplish project objectives 3. Dimensioning wetland sites 4. Accomplishing social and economic constraints s 5. Designing wetland restoration actions SWAT-GIS Frequential distribution of nitrate and water discharges in sub-basins Dimensioning 1st order areal removal model for surface flow wetlands (Kadlec & Knight 1996) Checking land registry and constructing costs against available funding Constructing actions to Improve functional performance

Site selection: Selecting subbasins with high nitrate discharge The calibrated model is applied to all delineated subasins of the target area for obtaining water, suspended solids and nitrate discharges SWAT provides quantity and quality flow data, sediment transport and pollution accumulation in river channel and soils for all the river sections of each subbasin. Depending on the time scale of the input information we can obtain daily, monthly or yearly results (monthly in this case).
