Join us as Camila Kuncar from CIREF shares insights into this restoration project, which aims to improve the headwaters’ conditions of the River Ega, located within a Nature Reserve and designated as a Special Area of Conservation under the Natura 2000 Network.
We invite you to join us for a special live broadcast on the Dam Removal Europe YouTube channel to learn more about this river restoration effort and its impact on local biodiversity.

The Molino de Zúñiga Dam, also known as the Molino de Arquijas Dam, originally served as a mill before being converted into a hydroelectric plant. Its operations were abandoned years ago, likely due to the site’s remote location and low profitability, leaving it in poor condition.
This restoration project was possible thanks to CIREF, Naturalea, Confederación Hidrográfica del Ebro, the municipality of Zúñiga and the Navarra Government.
