Las Tablas De Daimiel (ciudad Real) Recovers Part Of Its Landscape

CIUDAD REAL, CASTILLA LA MANCHA, SPAIN - DECEMBER 29: Tablas de Daimiel National Park wetland, on 29 December, 2022 in Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. The Tablas wetland, with almost 2,000 hectares of floodable area, had only 50 ha of water this summer, the lack of rain had dried 80% of the lagoons. Now, after the water transfer and the rains this autumn, it has recovered part of its landscape of the 1980s, when the water exuberance was the refuge of a large biodiversity, and was recognized by UNESCO and the EU as a protection area for wetlands and the birds that stop there on their long migrations. In 2023, the year of the celebration of its fiftieth birthday as a national park, what should be one of the main wetlands of Spain, is heading towards the fifth spring with 80% of the surface dry. "Since the spring of 2018 the park has been completely dry, and the other 20% has been kept flooded with management measures, including the activation of emergency wells.".
