As we advanced in ARGIA, a new society has been created in Salazar to take care of the river and promote a new culture of water.

ZAIN Zaraitzu Ibaia Naturala will work to "protect and improve it", as well as to live and work in the Pyrenees, always in "harmony with nature", according to URL 0.

Regarding the expansion of the Yesa dam, Toño Braco, president of the council of Aspurz and member of the association ZAIN, said that the diversion of water from Salazar to Yesa is "reckless" when the safety of the dam "is in question": "Most people want a river without haste, without canals, tunnels, without iron and without concrete," he added.

In fact, on May 24, 2018, we published an extensive article on this project.
