Last Thursday, Carlos García de Leániz participated in a webinar on governance challenges for river restoration where he exposed key questions that need to be answered for effectively restoration of free-flowing rivers. This webinar (in Spanish) was organized by Cortecero Vive, a project aimed at restoring the connectivity of the river Cortecero, in Manzanares el Real (Madrid, Spain).
