The Adecagua Association develops an environmental education project to improve the condition and conservation of rivers.

The Adecagua Association, with the support of the Biodiversity Foundation, has developed the project “Environmental education in rivers of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park”, included in the World Day for Water Quality Control.

The World Water Monitoring Challenge (WWMD) is an international educational program that began in the United States in 2002. So far, more than one million people have participated in more than 90 countries.

The main objective of the project was to educate, raise awareness and involve society about the importance of achieving an optimal ecological status of rivers and to call for their recovery.

The WWMD has been coordinated internationally by the Earthecho association since 2013, and the Adecagua association has been responsible for coordinating this project in Spain since 2007.

During the project, Adecagua has provided coverage and support through the delivery of materials and advice to 2,077 volunteers spread across almost all Spanish provinces. Adecagua has carried out field trips with schoolchildren and a field trip with the disabled, developing environmental education activities with 270 students.

Adecagua has been able to give 7 and a half more months of continuity to the environmental education project “The World Water Quality Control Day” now EducAgua, which has been developed in Spain since 2007 and has become a benchmark in environmental education and more specifically in environmental education focused on river ecology issues.
