LIFE URBASO aims to demonstrate that careful planning and adequate forest management of the up-slope areas of drinking water abstraction points is a requirement for maintaining raw water yield of high quality reducing sediment load, THMs and PTAs under the uncertainty of climate change.
To this end, URBASO will demonstrate this methodology in the Reserve of Biosphere of Urdaibai where 39 abstraction points are located in forested areas and 13 of them are in pine and eucalypt plantations.
