Divulgación de LIFE Riverphy en Campus Ingeniería UPCT 2014
Acción D7. Talleres y seminarios
La cuarta edición del Campus de la Ingeniería, organizado por la UPCT, que tuvo lugar los días 7, 8 y 9 de mayo de 2014, ha contado con una actividad acerca del Proyecto LIFE+ Riverphy, titulada “Uso de plantas para descontaminar suelos: Fitoextracción“. La finalidad de la misma era mostrar, a los alumnos de primaria y secundaria, el uso potencial que tienen las plantas para descontaminar suelos que se encuentran contaminados por metales pesados.

GalleryNetworking with other LIFE Projects
Acción E2. Networking con otros proyectos
Contacts with other LIFE projects at regional, national and international level, having similar objectives to those to be achieved with the LIFE Riverphy project have been made. The projects that have already established communication networks, with forecast to shortly expand contacts to other projects, are the following:

GalleryMeeting
Acción E1. Gestión del Proyecto
Several meetings have been developed. In the January 2014 meeting the beneficiaries discussed about various themes such as landscape study, publishing brochures, posters, the launch of the web site and social networking, plant species most suitable for use in phytoextraction of heavy metals within this stretch of Guadalentin river, etc.
GalleryGeotechnical Study
Acción A1. Actividades Preliminares
Three mechanical drillings up to 10 m depth were carried out in the three subsections of 500 m in which is divided the stretch of riverbed to rehabilitate with the Riverphy LIFE + project. Through these drillings subsurface material has been extracted for geological characterization and the level of heavy metal in depth has been determined, so that they may assess the extent of contamination by heavy metals. It has been observed that there is only heavy metals pollution in surface.
GalleryGeophysical Study
Acción A1. Actividades Preliminares
Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) has been applied to characterize different sectors in the riverbed and define the limits and thickness of the different materials. This non-destructive geophysical technique has permitted to determine the contrast of resistivity of subsuperficial geological materials that define the riverbed to estimate the geometry, thickness, structure for different layers.

GalleryBiogeochemical Characterization
Acción B1. Caracterización inicial de suelos y vegetación
A sediment surface sampling of the 1500 m stretch of riverbed Guadalentin has been sampled to determine their physical, chemical and biological characteristics and the level of heavy metal contamination. 60 sampling points, where sediment was taken at three depths, were defined: 0-20 cm, 20-50 cm and 50-100 cm.
