The Research Group Management, Use and Recovery of Soil and Water of the School of Agricultural Engineers UPCT has developed a methodology of environmental and landscape rehabilitation of degraded areas including the use of pig manure, so abundant in our area, and waste from the marble industry.
This work has been the subject of a doctoral thesis defended by Alfonso Torres Parra, directed by Dr. Angel Face, and Maria Dolores Gomez and practiced with the LIFE + project Mipolare (http://www.mipolare.eu/) in the They have been rehabilitated two mining deposits in the basin of the Rambla del Gorguel.
"The result has been praised by the European Commission and its evaluators, labeling it as a project of great environmental interest," said Angel Face.
Following the model created, it has developed a strategy for rehabilitation of mining deposits of Santa Antoinette and Gorguel, in the mining district of Cartagena-La Union.
In order to give both miners deposits a new recreational and educational use, they have created a network of trails, viewpoints, access areas and museum area to allow visitors to observe the rehabilitation of a mining degraded area since the beginning until the final stage, which can be observed in situ.
"These landscape designs have sought a multifunctional, so that the benefit accrues in an ecological, environmental and socio-economic improvement," said the author of the research, Alfonso Parra.
The methodology is based on a series of steps always looking for sustainability and integration into the environment.
The work thus presents a comprehensive and useful inventory of plant species valid for decontamination and suggested uses for them contemplating landscape aspects.
"With the methodology developed can be different rehabilitate degraded environments, not just mineral deposits," says the director of the thesis also Maria Dolores Gomez.
