Environmental studies and monitoring are an essential pillar of the protection of water bodies and ecosystems. They allow for the collection of reliable data on water quality, the condition of banks, biodiversity, and the evolution of aquatic environments over time.

Through rigorous monitoring programs, several parameters are analyzed, such as water transparency, the presence of nutrients, cyanobacteria, and sediments.

This information is used to quickly detect problems, better understand their causes, and guide corrective actions.

The results obtained contribute to the development of targeted intervention plans, the improvement of riverside practices and the development of restoration projects adapted to local realities.

They also strengthen collaboration with scientific, municipal and community partners.

Based on concrete and measurable data, environmental studies and monitoring make it possible to ensure responsible, transparent and sustainable management of water resources, for the benefit of the entire community.

Here are the studies currently underway annually.
