6 October – 08:00 – 17:00
The central exhibition of the CHE is held in Zaragoza, the city where the world’s first hydrographic confederation was born and the current institutional headquarters of the organization, in the historic building on Paseo de Sagasta.
The exhibition, located in the Palacio de Sástago, covers one hundred years of history of water management in the del Ebro basin. From the pioneering model promoted by Lorenzo Pardo in 1926 to the current sustainability plans, Zaragoza has been and is the axis of a technical, social and environmental system that connects nine autonomous communities through the river. The exhibition shows the role of the CHE in the transformation of the territory: hydraulic infrastructures, river restoration projects, technological advances, citizen participation initiatives and programs for the protection of the natural environment.
Zaragoza and the Ebro share a common history. This exhibition is also a meeting point for citizens, institutions and agents of the territory to reflect on the future of the river that unites us.
