NEMUS\u00a0has been collaborating with\u00a0EDP\u00a0since 2009 in determining ecological maintenance schemes for the Vilar, Caldeir\u00e3o, A\u00e7ude de Trinta, Fronhas and Raiva dams. In October, a new phase of fieldwork was developed.
\nThe objective was to develop habitat preference curves for the representative species of the study sites, according to the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology\u00a0IFIM. Specifically the Northern Iberian chub, Straight-mouth nase and Brown trout were considered.<\/p>\n
Field surveys in the streams affected by the referred dams included fish collection using electrofishing and determination of the microhabitat variables: water column depth, mean water velocity and substrate composition.<\/p>\n
The Water Framework Directive (WFD\u00a0\u2013 Directive 2000\/60\/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000, transposed into national law by Law N.\u00ba 58\/2005, of 29 December \u2013 Water Act) recognizes the need to ensure flow regimes that allow the conservation and preservation of ecosystems present prior to construction of dams.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
