• Also noteworthy are the actions on the Sil river, in Toreno (León), where the works are at an advanced stage of execution. This control point is in addition to those already completed on the Narla (Friol) and Tamuxe (O Rosal) rivers, and another station under construction on the Lobios river (Ourense)

The municipality of Quiroga, in Lugo, has a new hydrological control station on the river Quiroga thanks to the European RISC_PLUS project. This facility is part of the automatic hydrological information system (SAIH) of the Miño-Sil Hydrographic Confederation (CHMS), which currently has 116 control points and will reach 124 by the end of the project in 2026.

Within this framework, the actions on the Sil river, in Toreno (León), where the works are at an advanced stage of execution, also stand out. This control point is in addition to those already completed on the Narla (Friol) and Tamuxe (O Rosal) rivers, and another station under construction on the Lobios river (Ourense). At the same time, the water quality system (SAICA) is being expanded from 18 to 20 stations when the work is completed.

The RISC_PLUS project, which has a budget of 1.6 million euros and is more than 50% complete, also includes the development of a joint Special Drought Plan between Spain and Portugal. This plan will enable the diagnosis and management of scenarios of prolonged scarcity and other risks associated with climate change. The actions are supported by the Interreg VA Spain-Portugal programme (POCTEP), which promotes cross-border cooperation in water management.
