Abstract
AbstractThe Ebro river basin is one of the most studied basins in Spain. The Confederación Hidrográfica del Ebro (CHE), which is the organization in charge of the management of the basin, has different control networks that are operative since 1992. Besides these control networks, there is also a contribution of scientific studies since 1988 to know the distribution of persistent organic pollutants in the basin. Most of these studies are site specific or consider only one family of compounds. Recently, some scientific studies have focused on the basin as a whole, considering several compounds and matrices.In this chapter, the contribution of the CHE and the research achievements of the EU funded project AQUATERRA (Integrated Modelling of the river–sediment–soil–groundwater system; advanced tools for the management of catchment areas and river basins in the context of global change, Project number 505428 GOCE), together with other findings of the scientific community, to the knowledge about the contamination in the Ebro river basin will be overviewed.KeywordsIndustrial and agricultural impactsMonitoring campaignsSedimentsWater
