The Miño-Sil Hydrographic Confederation (CHMS) has participated in the first edition of the course “Iber as a tool for the Miño-Sil Hydrographic Confederation”, a specialized training organized by the Ephyslab research group of the University of Vigo, partner of the European project POCTEP Risc_Plus.

During three days, the technical staff of the CHMS has been able to deepen in the use of Iber, an advanced tool for hydraulic simulations that allows modeling flows in natural channels, analyze flood scenarios and plan prevention measures. This training is aligned with the objectives of the RISC_PLUS project, which seeks to improve the resilience of the international basins of the Miño and Limia rivers against extreme events such as floods and droughts, promoting innovative solutions based on knowledge and cross-border cooperation.

Thanks to this training, the technical capacity of the organization is strengthened to apply predictive models and digital tools in decision making in the face of hydrological risks, moving towards a more efficient and proactive water management, as established by the Water Framework Directive.

The training activity highlights the added value of the RISC_PLUS project as a strategic cooperation project between Spain and Portugal, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Interreg VI-A Spain-Portugal (POCTEP) 2021-2027 program.
