THE USE OF CLEAN ENERGY SOURCES TO MEET CURRENT AND FUTURE ENERGY DEMAND, TOGETHER WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, PLACE HIDROELECTRICA ENERGY AS ONE OF THE MAIN SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES. HOWEVER, THEIR PRODUCTION MAY LEAD TO CHANGES IN THE DYNAMICS OF THE RIVER SYSTEMS, SINCE THE FLUCTUATIONS OF THE FLOW GENERATED BY HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTS (WATER PULSES CALLED HIDROPUNTAS), SIGNIFICANTLY INTERFERE WITH THE HYDROLOGICAL AND SEDIMENTARY REGIME OF THE RIVERS, AS WELL AS THEIR ECOLOGICAL FUNCTIONING. IT IS THEREFORE NECESSARY TO ANALYSE THESE PROCESSES IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A BALANCE BETWEEN ENERGY PRODUCTION AND THE PRESERVATION OF THE ECOSYSTEMS WHERE IT IS CARRIED OUT. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE MORPHPEAK PROJECT IS TO ANALYSE THE EFFECTS OF HIDROPUNTAS ON MORPHO-SEDIMENTARY DYNAMICS, THE AVAILABILITY OF PHYSICAL HABITAT, AND ALTERATIONS ON THE BIOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES OF THE AFFECTED RIVER ECOSYSTEMS. IN PARTICULAR, THE PROJECT WILL EXAMINE IMPACTS ON BENTONIC MACROINVERTEBRATE COMMUNITIES. THE PROJECT IS BASED ON A SERIES OF WORK SCENARIOS AND A HOLISTIC METHODOLOGICAL DESIGN THAT ALLOWS TO ANALYSE THESE INTERACTIONS AT MULTIPLE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL SCALES. LITTLE RESEARCH HAS SO FAR CONSIDERED THE HYDRO-MORPHOLOGICAL EFFECTS AND THE ECOLOGICAL RESPONSE IN RIVER SECTIONS AFFECTED BY HIDROPUNTAS. THE HIGH INSTABILITY OF HABITAT IN THESE SECTIONS IS THE MAIN CONSTRAINT FOR THE NORMAL FUNCTIONING OF THE ECOSYSTEM. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ALTERATION OF THE HYDROLOGICAL REGIME MODIFIES THE HYDRAULIC CHANNEL, THE SEDIMENTARY STRUCTURE OF THE RIVER BED, THE TRANSPORT OF SEDIMENTS, THE AVAILABILITY OF HABITAT AND, CONSEQUENTLY, ALTERS THE DYNAMICS OF THE BIOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES. THE KNOWLEDGE GENERATED BY THE PROJECT WILL BE A FUNDAMENTAL STEP FOR THE DESIGN OF LESS AGGRESSIVE HIDROPUNTAS AND/OR THE APPLICATION OF CORRECTIVE MEASURES IN ORDER TO MINIMISE THE EFFECTS AND PRESERVE THE AQUATIC HABITAT. MORPHPEAK WILL USE TOOLS OF LAST GENERATION IN THE FIELD OF MONITORING AND HYDRAULIC AND MORPHO-SEDIMENTARY MODELLING THAT WILL ALLOW TO EVALUATE WITH MUCH DEFINITION THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE CURRENT MANAGEMENT, AND LAY THE SCIENTIFIC BASES TO DESIGN NEW MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES TO MAXIMISE THE BENEFITS BOTH ENERGETIC AND ECOLOGICAL, ENABLING MANAGERS FOR THE PLANNING AND EXECUTION OF ADVANCED PROGRAMS OF RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION OF FLUVIAL HABITAT IN RIVERS AFFECTED BY HIDROPUNTAS. THE PROJECT ASSESSES THE EFFECTS FROM A GLOBAL POINT OF VIEW AND WITH A REALISTIC APPROACH, A VERY REMARKABLE FACT, SINCE TO DATE THE MORPH-SEDIMENTARY COMPONENT AND THE VISION OF THE RIVER CONTINUUM IN STUDIES OF THIS TYPE HAVE NOT BEEN CONSIDERED. IN THE SAME WAY, MORPHPEAK WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE PROCESSES THAT CAUSE THE REDUCTION OF BIODIVERSITY AND THE DEGRADATION OF WATER ECOSYSTEMS IN SECTIONS AFFECTED BY HIDROPUNTAS, AND WILL ADVANCE IN THE APPLICATION AND VALIDATION OF STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGIES IN RIVER GEOMORPHOLOGY FOR THE DETECTION OF CHANGES, AND THE ANALYSIS OF THE ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING OF RIVER ENVIRONMENTS, ALL IN A FRAMEWORK OF INTERNATIONALISATION AND CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH END USERS.

EL USO DE FUENTES DE ENERGIA LIMPIAS PARA SATISFACER LA DEMANDA ENERGETICA ACTUAL Y FUTURA, JUNTO CON EL CONSENSO INTERNACIONAL PARA REDUCIR LAS EMISIONES DE GASES DE EFECTO INVERNADERO, SITUAN A LA ENERGIA HIDROELECTRICA COMO UNA DE LAS PRINCIPALES ALTERNATIVAS SOSTENIBLES. NO OBSTANTE, SU PRODUCCION PUEDE CONLLEVAR CAMBIOS SOBRE LA DINAMICA DE LOS SISTEMAS FLUVIALES, YA QUE LAS OSCILACIONES DEL CAUDAL QUE GENERAN LAS CENTRALES HIDROELECTRICAS (PULSOS DE AGUA DENOMINADOS HIDROPUNTAS), INTERFIEREN DE MANERA IMPORTANTE EN EL REGIMEN HIDROLOGICO Y SEDIMENTARIO DE LOS RIOS, ASI COMO EN SU FUNCIONAMIENTO ECOLOGICO. ES NECESARIO, POR TANTO, ANALIZAR ESTOS PROCESOS PARA ALCANZAR UN EQUILIBRIO ENTRE LA PRODUCCION ENERGETICA Y LA PRESERVACION DE LOS ECOSISTEMAS DONDE ESTA SE REALIZA. EL OBJETIVO PRINCIPAL DEL PROYECTO MORPHPEAK ES ANALIZAR LOS EFECTOS DE LAS HIDROPUNTAS SOBRE LA DINAMICA MORFO-SEDIMENTARIA, LA DISPONIBILIDAD DE HABITAT FISICO, Y LAS ALTERACIONES SOBRE LAS COMUNIDADES BIOLOGICAS DE LOS ECOSISTEMAS FLUVIALES AFECTADOS. EN PARTICULAR, EL PROYECTO EXAMINARA LOS IMPACTOS SOBRE LAS COMUNIDADES DE MACROINVERTEBRADOS BENTONICOS. EL PROYECTO SE BASA EN UNA SERIE DE HIPOTESIS DE TRABAJO Y EN UN DISEÑO METODOLOGICO HOLISTICO QUE PERMITE ANALIZAR ESTAS INTERACCIONES A MULTIPLES ESCALAS ESPACIALES Y TEMPORALES. POCAS INVESTIGACIONES HASTA AHORA HAN CONSIDERADO DE FORMA CONJUNTA LOS EFECTOS HIDRO-MORFOLOGICOS Y LA REPUESTA ECOLOGICA EN TRAMOS FLUVIALES AFECTADOS POR HIDROPUNTAS. LA GRAN INESTABILIDAD DEL HABITAT EN ESTOS TRAMOS ES EL PRINCIPAL LIMITANTE PARA EL NORMAL FUNCIONAMIENTO DEL ECOSISTEMA. POR EJEMPLO, LA ALTERACION DEL REGIMEN HIDROLOGICO MODIFICA LA HIDRAULICA DEL CAUCE, LA ESTRUCTURA SEDIMENTARIA DEL LECHO DEL RIO, EL TRANSPORTE DE SEDIMENTOS, LA DISPONIBILIDAD DEL HABITAT Y, CONSECUENTEMENTE, ALTERA LA DINAMICA DE LAS COMUNIDADES BIOLOGICAS. EL CONOCIMIENTO GENERADO POR EL PROYECTO SUPONDRA UN PASO FUNDAMENTAL PARA EL DISEÑO DE HIDROPUNTAS MENOS AGRESIVAS Y/O LA APLICACION DE MEDIDAS CORRECTORAS CON EL FIN DE MINIMIZAR LOS EFECTOS Y PRESERVAR EL HABITAT ACUATICO. MORPHPEAK UTILIZARA HERRAMIENTAS DE ULTIMA GENERACION EN EL CAMPO DE LA MONITORIZACION Y LA MODELIZACION HIDRAULICA Y MORFO-SEDIMENTARIA QUE PERMITIRAN EVALUAR CON MUCHA DEFINICION EL IMPACTO AMBIENTAL DE LA GESTION ACTUAL, Y PONER LAS BASES CIENTIFICAS PARA DISEÑAR NUEVAS ESTRATEGIAS DE GESTION PARA MAXIMIZAR LOS BENEFICIOS TANTO ENERGETICOS COMO ECOLOGICOS, HABILITANDO A LOS GESTORES PARA LA PLANIFICACION Y LA EJECUCION DE PROGRAMAS AVANZADOS DE RESTAURACION Y CONSERVACION DE HABITAT FLUVIAL EN RIOS AFECTADOS POR HIDROPUNTAS. EL PROYECTO EVALUA LOS EFECTOS DESDE UN PUNTO DE VISTA GLOBAL Y CON UN ENFOQUE REALISTA, HECHO MUY DESTACABLE YA QUE HASTA LA FECHA NO SE HA CONSIDERADO EL COMPONENTE MORFO-SEDIMENTARIO NI LA VISION DEL CONTINUO FLUVIAL EN ESTUDIOS DE ESTE TIPO. DE LA MISMA FORMA, MORPHPEAK PROPORCIONARA INFORMACION SOBRE LOS PROCESOS CAUSANTES DE LA REDUCCION DE LA BIODIVERSIDAD Y LA DEGRADACION DE LOS ECOSISTEMAS ACUATICOS EN TRAMOS AFECTADOS POR HIDROPUNTAS, Y AVANZARA EN LA APLICACION Y VALIDACION DE TECNOLOGIAS DE VANGUARDIA EN GEOMORFOLOGIA FLUVIAL PARA LA DETECCION DE CAMBIOS, Y EL ANALISIS DEL FUNCIONAMIENTO ECOSISTEMICO DE MEDIOS FLUVIALES, TODO ELLO EN UN MARCO DE INTERNACIONALIZACION Y DE ESTRECHA COLABORACION CON LOS USUARIOS FINALES.

THE USE OF CLEAN ENERGY SOURCES TO MEET CURRENT AND FUTURE ENERGY DEMAND, TOGETHER WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, PLACE HIDROELECTRICA ENERGY AS ONE OF THE MAIN SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES. HOWEVER, THEIR PRODUCTION MAY LEAD TO CHANGES IN THE DYNAMICS OF THE RIVER SYSTEMS, SINCE THE FLUCTUATIONS OF THE FLOW GENERATED BY HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTS (WATER PULSES CALLED HIDROPUNTAS), SIGNIFICANTLY INTERFERE WITH THE HYDROLOGICAL AND SEDIMENTARY REGIME OF THE RIVERS, AS WELL AS THEIR ECOLOGICAL FUNCTIONING. IT IS THEREFORE NECESSARY TO ANALYSE THESE PROCESSES IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A BALANCE BETWEEN ENERGY PRODUCTION AND THE PRESERVATION OF THE ECOSYSTEMS WHERE IT IS CARRIED OUT. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE MORPHPEAK PROJECT IS TO ANALYSE THE EFFECTS OF HIDROPUNTAS ON MORPHO-SEDIMENTARY DYNAMICS, THE AVAILABILITY OF PHYSICAL HABITAT, AND ALTERATIONS ON THE BIOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES OF THE AFFECTED RIVER ECOSYSTEMS.
