A number of threats are affecting the conservation statuses of riverine ecosystems. Various factors and processes such as land use or climate change can have a negative impact on their proper function and accelerate their degradation, requiring the control and evaluation of the quality of the water and its habitats, as well as the implementation […]
The Citizen Platform for the Defense of the Serpis River proposes priority measures for adaptation to global change in the basin from the perspectives of water management, territory and its cultural values. Some of the proposed measures include changes to land use in riverside areas to incorporate them into the river space; the eradication of […]
Campus Gandia UPV has held the first participatory meetings for the REDAPTA project, promoted by CREAF (Center for Ecological Research and Forestry Applications), whose objective is to prepare a climate change strategy for the Serpis and Tordera (Catalonia) river basins. Last week, the REDAPTA project, “Building spaces of governance for adaptation to global change in […]
Identifying the causes behind problems such as the odors, solid waste and isolated fish mortalities in the final stretch of the Serpis River, at the mouth in Gandia. This is the main objective of the project titled “Diagnosis of the Water in the Urban Stretch and the Mouth of the Serpis River for its Environmental Recovery”, […]
Virginia Garófano Gómez and Isabel Gadea Pérez are PhDs in Environmental Sciences and both completed their doctoral dissertations at the IGIC Institute of the Campus Gandia. They have drafted a research report for the Rural Development Center La Safor (Beniarjó), which is part of the scientific-technical research projects of the Confederation of Rural Development Centers […]
Associations, university, municipalities and people interested in the conservation of the Serpis River are invited to meet on Friday September 21st from 12.30 to 2.30 PM in the Graduate Hall of Campus Gandia of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV).

The dramatic impact of climate change will reduce the amount of available water supply in the Serpis River. This is one of the conclusions of the research project titled “Adaptation to Global Change: Integrated Management of the Environmental Flow Regime for the European Eel and Valencia Chub Habitat Against Invasive Species”, sponsored by the Biodiversity Foundation […]
Researchers at the Universitat Politècnica de València have started a project whose objective is to update the environmental flow regime of the River Serpis River, promoting the conservation of native species against invasive species and taking into account different climate change management scenarios, as well as the cost of these alternative regimes. The research project […]
Some of you may wonder why we celebrate World Rivers Day: aren’t our rivers nearly dead? Well here’s the news: the Serpis is alive. This discovery was made after verifying the state of the river after the recent swells.
