“…Las Tablas de Daimiel, a Ramsar site and National Park, is situated within the Mediterranean, semi‐arid climatic setting. As in the previous example, this wetland was dramatically altered by human action during the second half of the last century (Alvarez‐Cobelas & Cirujano, 1996; Cirujano et al. , 1996; Alvarez‐Cobelas et al.…”

Biomanipulation: a useful tool for freshwater wetland mitigation?

Summary 1. Natural wetlands have traditionally been considered as efficient ‘ecological engineers’ for waste water treatment. However, the structure and function of many natural wetlands have been severely altered by the chronic exposure to pollutants, especially nutrients. 2. Despite the similarity of symptoms of eutrophied shallow lakes and wetlands, restoration strategies differ distinctly between these rather similar aquatic systems. Many of the tools applied in shallow lake restoration programs, for example biomanipulation, have received little attention in wetland management and restoration. 3. Although a strong conceptual basis for food web management exists, biotic interactions as influences on wetland communities have been largely neglected by wetland scientists and managers. 4. In this paper we show that biomanipulation may have a strong potential for wetland eutrophication abatement. This potential will be demonstrated by reviewing studies carried out in different wetland types in contrasting climatic regions. 5. We propose four different scenarios for when, where and why biomanipulation may be used to rehabilitate freshwater wetlands. These scenarios reflect different settings of hydrological variability, eutrophication sources and gradients of wind exposure and water colour.

“…There are two reasons for this: First, aquifer recovery is in itself a long‐term process that must necessarily come before wetland recovery can occur and second, water, agricultural, and environmental policies have traditionally placed the emphasis on water quantity, rather than on the ecological aspects of the problem. However, it is recognized that water quality and the loss of biodiversity are significant issues (Cirujano et al 1996; Berzas et al 2000; Álvarez‐Cobelas et al 2001), which also pose problems for restoring natural functionality to the system.…”

Conflicts between intensive groundwater use and wetland conservation are widespread throughout arid and semiarid regions worldwide. These have become more significant wherever there has been a synchronism between pumping-based human development and the awakening of an environmental awareness in society. The Mancha Occidental aquifer provides an example of such an occurrence, which has given rise to noteworthy social conflicts. This paper presents a cross-policy analysis for wetland restoration measures, establishing the main reasons why fundingintensive agricultural, environmental, and water policies have only attained marginal success in recovering the area's aquatic ecosystems.

“…En 1994 el acuífero se consideró oficialmente sobreexplotado (Cobelas et al, 1996). Esta evolución ha tenido consecuencias dramáticas para la flora y fauna características del PNTD, con un claro descenso en la riqueza de especies, sobre todo plantas hidrófitas ligadas a aguas permanentes (Cirujano et al, 1996). Según Conan et al (2003) Con el fin de restaurar la funcionalidad del PNTD se inició en 1988 un Plan de Regeneración Hidrológica que perseguía aumentar la superficie inundada.…”

“…Según Conan et al (2003) Con el fin de restaurar la funcionalidad del PNTD se inició en 1988 un Plan de Regeneración Hidrológica que perseguía aumentar la superficie inundada. El Plan consistía en la construcción de dos presas dentro del PNTD, y, sobre todo, el trasvase de entre 1.5 y 15 hm 3 de agua anuales (Peinado et al, 2009) desde la cuenca del río Tajo hacia el río Cigüela a través del acueducto del trasvase Tajo-Segura (Cirujano et al 1996, Fornés et al, 2000. Sin embargo, a pesar de ello la evolución del PNTD ha empeorado progresivamente, debido a la infiltración que experimenta el agua en el río Cigüela, al atravesar terrenos cársticos (Sanz Donaire et al, 1994).…”
