RTVE La Rioja features Por la cuenca del Ebro in Logroño

RTVE La Rioja has dedicated a report on Telerioja to the traveling exhibition Por la cuenca del Ebro, which can be visited at the Casa de las Ciencias de Logroño until May 31. The piece frames the exhibition around a specific question: what role does the Confederación Hidrográfica del Ebro play today and how is water managed in an extensive, diverse basin subject to new environmental and social pressures?

The report does not merely record the opening. It summarizes, with an educational approach, some of the functions that the CHE has been performing for a century: guaranteeing access to water, ensuring its quality, caring for the health of the rivers, and regulating the uses that depend on them. The exhibition uses this framework to bring the public closer to a management process that often remains out of the spotlight, even though it determines supply, irrigation, energy, economic activity, and the protection of the fluvial environment.

In the piece, Javier San Román, curator of the centenary, explains that the Confederation manages and maintains infrastructure such as state reservoirs and canals, administers water use rights, controls discharge authorizations, and ensures that every action is integrated into sustainable planning. The video connects this work with current challenges: the impact of climate change, the reduction in water availability due to increased evaporation, and the need to plan new uses with a more accurate forecast of available resources.

This is also the purpose of Por la cuenca del Ebro: to explain water management without separating it from the territory. The exhibition combines historical documentation, hydraulic heritage, audiovisual resources, and educational content on the current challenges facing the basin. At its Riojan venue, it also incorporates a local perspective on the relationship of Logroño and La Rioja with the Ebro, with references to the city, the market gardens, the vineyards, the uses of the riverbank, and the culture generated around the river.

The arrival of the exhibition in Logroño is part of the traveling tour for the CHE centenary and is complemented by the programming of the Centenary Encounters, which will continue in May at the Casa de las Ciencias with new conversations on river restoration, urban space, and the relationship between the city and the river.

The coverage by RTVE La Rioja joins other recent appearances regarding the Logroño venue of the exhibition. La Rioja has published the piece La Casa de las Ciencias looks toward the Ebro, focused on the exhibition and its educational dimension; Europa Press covered the inauguration and the programming linked to the centenary; and the official CHE press release and the Casa de las Ciencias agenda have reinforced the public dissemination of this new stop for Por la cuenca del Ebro in Logroño.
