Hydraulic anatomy of Guadiana springs (I)

Abstract

El Río Guadiana nacía gracias al caudal sobrante del acuífero manchego occidental, recurso que era aprovechado en sus primeros cincuenta kilómetros por dieciséis molinos hidráulicos. Este conjunto industrial perduró hasta la segunda mitad del pasado siglo, cuando distintas obras de drenaje y desecación junto al agotamiento del acuífero, provocaron un yermo panorama donde agua y vida imperaron durante siglos. El primer objetivo de esta investigación independiente, desarrollada en la sección de humedales del CREA y en la Escuela de Caminos de la UCLM, es caracterizar el sistema hidráulico original a través de geo-historiografía y trabajos de campo integrados en un sistema de información geográfica, con el objeto de simular su hidrodinámica prístina con el modelo IBER bajo condiciones de avenida. Los resultados permitirán estimar la capacidad de carga hidráulica y de laminación de avenidas de los dieciséis azudes y molinos en operación en el siglo XVI, que servirán de escenario base para analizar el impacto de las obras de drenaje venideras. Estos parámetros son esenciales en cualquier proyecto de restauración fluvial orientado a recuperar el dominio público hidráulico histórico y mitigar los potenciales efectos del cambio climático.

Guadiana River used to spring thanks to the Western Mancha Aquifer surplus flow, powering a set of sixteen watermills located along fifty kilometres of its upper reach. Such industrial hub lasted until the second half of last century, when drainage and drying-up works joined to aquifer overdraft, resulted in a distressing parched and scorched land where water and life had been dominant for centuries. The first target of this independent research, developed at the wetlands section of the Regional Centre Water Research and Civil Engineering Faculty (UCLM), is to characterize this ancient hydraulic system through geo-historiography and field works integrated in a Geographic Information System, to model that pristine hydrodynamics in IBER under flooding conditions. The expected results would assess the pristine hydraulic carrying capacity and flooding events management capacity of the sixteen weirs and watermills operating by 16th century, baseline to analyse further scenarios influenced by the drainage works to come. These parameters are essential to draft any fluvial restoration project focused on recovering that Hydraulic Public Domain and to mitigate the climate change potential effects.
