Water and landscape in Madrid: Possibilities and limitations
AbstractWater courses and their riverine forests, zones influenced by ground water, marshlands and ponds of very varied origin are very important sources of landscape diversity in the Madrid area. Evapotranspiration from relatively shallow saturated zones is an important factor in aquifer discharge in the semiarid part of the Madrid area. The following values are of greatest importance in the justification of the interest of water landscape in Madrid: ecological diversity, the wetland habitats representing pockets with biogeographical characteristics contrasting greatly with the surrounding territories; microclimatic interest, as the network of humid areas within a relatively dry area give rise to a phenomenon of energy dissipation as latent heat, temperature reduction and increasing humidity, thus improving climatic comfort; aesthetic- emotional values - vigorous tree growth, the occasional presence of water and a contrast with the surrounding areas; productive interest, as the influx of ground water in aquifer discharges means that plants avoid the water stress typical of a Mediterranean summer.Conservation and protection policies should not only refer to the maintenance of an acceptable degree of water quality in surface and underground waters but also be extended to the biocenosis and landscape characteristics of associated ecosystems.
