“…Admitting the impossibility of suppressing these phenomena with hydraulic works, the Directive adopted the principle of "living with floods" or the need of rethinking the role of large flood control infrastructures and their economic, social and environmental impacts and put a greater emphasis land use planning in floodplains. The Dutch program of "Room for Rivers" represents an example of removing intensive human occupation of floodplains and returning to the river system spaces that not only help to dissipate flood waves but that harbor significant environmental values and services (Warner et al, 2013;Ollero et al, 2015). Still, floodplains are coveted for development and land use plans restricting exposure are difficult to accept especially at the local level because the benefits of development are perceived to be greater than the risks (Lara et al, 2010).…”

“…The complex fluvial dynamics of the Middle Ebro River was considerably conditioned in recent decades by the global change in the basin, especially by human actions such as the regulation of flows or the defense against floods. Different researches (Ollero, 1992;Magdaleno, 2010;Ollero et al, 2015;Díaz Redondo et al, 2018) concluded that throughout the second half of the 20 th century there was a significant transformation of the fluvial functioning due to anthropic factors. It can be stated that the "Anthropocene" manifests itself in the Middle Ebro River through a great acceleration of human intervention between 1950 and 1990.…”

“…La evolución analizada y cuantificada confirma la caracterización inicial del tramo como representativo del curso medio del Ebro, pero también singular por su intensa dinámica. El modelo evolutivo ratifica las estimaciones realizadas en publicaciones anteriores (Ollero, 2010;Ollero et al, 2015Ollero et al, , 2018, y puede resumirse en las siguientes fases: (i) una enorme y continua capacidad de cambio en el cauce del Ebro en la primera mitad del siglo XX, destacando 4 cortas de meandro en el área de estudio, además de destacables procesos de migración; (ii) una ralentización progresiva de la dinámica del cauce en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, acompañada de la contracción de la banda natural fluvial a causa del incremento de usos antrópicos en el espacio fluvial; (iii) una dinámica escasa y controlada en el siglo XXI, pero todavía con pequeños cambios constatables en las barras e islas gracias a la elevada frecuencia de notables crecidas en los últimos años, que refleja la funcionalidad del sistema fluvial. Completando este modelo general, el área de estudio registró más cambios que otros tramos del Ebro medio en el pasado, y paralelamente también parece mantener más capacidad de cambio que esos otros sectores.…”
