In this stretch there are banks without trees, or without cane or agriculture. It forms a fringe with isolated trees or shrub spots only. The adjacent landscape is humanized and the bank is full of rubbish. The river is channelled and there are blocks, stones, sand and silts, and pebbles. There are also algae. It has zones with slow speeds and shallow depths. 

 The hydromorphological quality is low and insufficient.

We found species like Elmidae, Ceratopogonidae and Chironomidae.

To conclude, the biological and ecological quality is bad. It doesn’t comply with the directive “Marco del Agua”.
