26 March All day
The Centenary Meetings are a series of open conversations designed to bring the centenary of the Confederación Hidrográfica del Ebro closer to the region and its citizens. At each venue, the sessions offer a look at the river and its basin from various perspectives (history, water management, landscape, heritage, and environmental challenges), using an accessible, informative format intended for listening, questioning, and understanding.
In Miranda de Ebro, the session will be held under the title “Conversations around the Ebro basin: living with the river and harnessing its energy” and will address two issues particularly linked to the region and the basin’s history. Participants will include José Adolfo Álvarez González, with the presentation “Floods in Miranda de Ebro: Understanding them to live with them”, and Clemente Prieto Hernández, with the talk “Hydroelectric power and the Ebro basin”.
The session will take place on March 26, 2026, at 6:00 PM, at the Casa de Cultura and is part of the CHE centenary activities program. It will be an opportunity to explore different perspectives on the region: the memory of floods, the need to live with risk, the role of hydroelectric power in the basin, and the historical relationship between water, river management, and environmental transformation.
José Adolfo Álvarez González is an industrial technical engineer and was head of the Automatic Hydrological Information System (SAIH) Service at the Confederación Hidrográfica del Ebro.
Clemente Prieto Hernández is a civil engineer with extensive experience in hydroelectric operations and flood management.
Admission is free until capacity is reached.
