The exhibition 'Por la cuenca del Ebro' at Ataria in Álava commemorates the centenary of the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation (CHE) by exploring a century of water management.

The exhibition will be on display at Ataria until July 12th. This traveling exhibition arrives in the city to mark the CHE's centenary and will open this Friday at 7:00 PM with free admission.
Hosted at the Salburua Wetlands Interpretation Centre, the exhibition will delve into the natural, historical, and social dimensions of the Ebro River. Visitors can learn how the river and its tributaries have shaped the territory and how hydraulic planning has adapted to environmental, technical, and social changes.
Organized by the CHE, the exhibition presents water as a shared resource, featuring visual content, objects, and audiovisual materials. It aims to encourage reflection on the importance of planning and inter-administrative cooperation, as well as address current and future challenges for sustainable water management.
The exhibition will illustrate the evolution of water management over the past century and highlight the role of integrated planning in connecting territories.

The goal is to foster thought on the significance of planning and cooperation among administrations.

The Ebro Hydrographic Confederation (CHE) is an inter-community organization under the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge. Its responsibilities include constructing and maintaining infrastructure, managing its assets, planning water use, and coordinating with other sectors and administrations.
The CHE was established in 1926 as the Ebro Hydrographic Syndicate Confederation, founded on the principle of managing water by river basin unit, transcending administrative boundaries.
