Sediment transport restored after demolition of the Olloki dam
Askoa Ibisate, a geographer specializing in fluvial geomorphology, has analyzed how the disappearance of the Olloki dam affects sediment transport. Ibisate concluded that the volume of pebbles mobilized by the demolition has increased, and their journey has been extended. The results are particularly significant because the monitoring work has been ongoing for seven years and the authorities are provided with valuable information for predicting the consequences of dam demolition. The work is published in the journal Geomorphology.
