Climate impacts challenge our status quo. The frequency of extreme events keeps increasing driven by climate change. The World Bank (2016) indicates that the impacts of Climate Change will be channelled primarily through the water cycle and that water scarcity could cost some regions up to 6% of their GDP. COVID-19 is a stark reminder that a shift in our economic development paradigm is urgent. As urged by the GCA (2019), we need three revolutions for a better future: a revolution in understanding, in planning and finance. In this context, Nature-based Solutions (NbS) emerge as important pillars of new models of economic growth that enable a win-win between economy and environment while helping us mitigate water and climate risks. Unfortunately, the implementation of NbS at scale remains limited. In most cases, NbS are still being implemented as pilot projects of limited size and following parallel processes from mainstream procurement practices. This is what we call the implementation gap. Aiming at closing this gap, we have developed a collaborative project preparation approach titled Financing Framework for Water Security (FFWS) which aims to set in motion a multisectoral and transdisciplinary process that bridges the strategic adaptive planning and investment planning phases. The main objective of this handbook is to guide the development of investable NbS propositions and bankable NbS projects for both public and private investors through different modes of governance, funding and implementation arrangements. It offers operational advice and project preparation guidelines, including hands-on formats that project proponents can use continuously and iteratively to develop the entire business case of NbS, enabling them to go from the idea stage towards an investment proposal or investment project stage that can be effectively assessed by potential investors. This makes the handbook a comprehensive and first of a kind document as it adapts the process of developing a business case to the specificities of NbS investments for water security. Between 2016 and 2020 the FFWS has been continuously developed and successfully implemented by Deltares in seven countries at different scales. Within NAIAD, we have worked together with 23 partners from across Europe. We acknowledge their contributions to the development of this handbook. We have also been generously supported by several sponsors and experts. Our thanks go to the European Commission and the Water as Leverage for Resilient Asian Cities programme. Our sincere gratitude to Prof. Eelco van Beek, Professor IWRM Modelling at University of Twente and Deltares expert, whose insights into how NbS are considered in the process of Integrated Water Resources Management and river basin planning have been of great value for the development of this handbook. I am especially grateful to Prof. Claude Menard, Professor Economics Université de Paris (Panthéon-Sorbonne), external examiner for my PhD thesis, from whom I have learned the crucial role of institutions and the importance of considering transaction costs in the design of effective implementation arrangements. Inadvertently through his paper “A New Institutional Perspective on Environmental Issues” (2011) he made me realize a crucial research gap in the management of environmental challenges. We welcome your feedback on the Handbook structure and content, and invite examples for inclusion in the next edition of the Manual. Monica A.

The frequency of extreme events keeps increasing. According to MunichRe, the share of insured losses in 2017 (US$ 135 bn) is the highest figure in the period from 1980 to 2017. Meanwhile, the World Bank (2016) indicates that the impacts of Climate Change will be channelled primarily through the water cycle and that water scarcity could cost some regions up to 6% of their GDP. COVID-19 is a stark reminder that a shift in our economic development paradigm is urgent. As urged by the GCA (2019), we need three revolutions for a better future: a revolution in understanding, in planning and finance. In this context, Nature-based Solutions (NbS) emerge as important pillars of new models of economic growth that enable a win-win between economy and environment while helping us mitigate water risks. Unfortunately, the implementation of NbS at scale remains limited. In most cases, NbS are still being implemented as pilot projects of limited size and following parallel processes from mainstream procurement practices. This is what we call the implementation gap. The development of investable NbS propositions is crucial for the implementation at scale of NbS and the achievement of climate and sustainable development goals by 2030. While it is more and more globally acknowledged that climate change cannot be tackled without ramping investments to protect and restore nature, according to recent studies NbS attract only 3% of global climate funding and private sector investments in NbS remain limited. As a recent H2020 study from the project Naturvation show for urban NbS in Europe, the vast majority of investments in NbS are carried out by the public sector. From water security strategies to investment plans: closing the gap More often than not, NbS proponents are organizations with advocacy or scientific background with limited involvement in public or private investment planning processes. Accordingly, NbS pilots and demonstration projects are often shaped as awareness-raising projects rather than as investable propositions. Data granularity regarding implementation costs and risks as well as expected revenues differ greatly between what NbS proponents offer and what investors require. Aiming at closing this gap, we have developed a collaborative project preparation

The Tormes River formed in the center-west of the Iberian Peninsula in the province of Salamanca. It runs along a Cenozoic basin with basement materials and through Varisco, and consists of mainly granitic and metamorphic materials, leaving a wide stream of river terraces, both erosional and depositional, that confirm its evolution throughout the Quaternary. Geomorphological analyses using Geographic Information Systems tools, Digital terrain model high resolution (MDT05, LIDAR), Orthophotos (scale 1:5000), and geological maps (1:50,000 Series Magna) have allowed different morphologies and depositional terraces to be distinguished, namely, 19 levels of erosional terraces and 3 levels of erosion surfaces. Based on these correlations, the levels of terraces in the Tormes River between T1 (+140 m) and T7 (+75–80 m) are located in the Pleistocene, those between T8 (+58–64 m) and T14 (+18–23 m) in the Middle Pleistocene, those between T15 (+12–13 m) and T17 (+6–7 m) in the Upper Pleistocene, and those between T18 (+3 m) and T19 (+1.5 m) in the Holocene.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is to make known certain archaeological materials which teach us more about the villages in the South of the Duero in the Roman era, specifically in the Southern part of the province of Valladolid. PLABRAS CLAVES: poblamiento, materiales arqueológicos, grafitos, pondus. KEY TERMS: village, archaeological materials, grafitti, pondus. INTRODUCCIÓN En el I.E.S. “Alfonso VI” de Olmedo, se hallan varias cajas con restos de materiales arqueológicos que, al parecer, habían sido recogidos por profesores y alumnos del Instituto con anterioridad al año 1992. Uno de los problemas que plantean las cajas es el de la procedencia de estos restos, pues únicamente en una de las cajas –que entre otros materiales contenía varias pesas de telar- aparecían rotuladas las siglas BO-CA (BO-20-I-85). Esto nos hace pensar que quizás procedan de la localidad de Bocigas, núcleo cercano a la villa romana de Almenara. Las tierras al sur del Duero, en donde discurre un conjunto de valles como estrechos surcos entre las campiñas por los que discurren los ríos Adaja, Cega y 268 LIBORIO HERNÁNDEZ GUERRA – JOSÉ MARÍA GAMARRA CABALLERO Eresma1, están formadas de terrenos arenosos en la zona centro, mientras que en la parte oriental los páramos calcáreos, formados por perfectas llanuras de plataformas estructurales, cubiertas por extensiones de tierras orientadas a los cereales, son de economía esencialmente agraria, de cultivo cerealístico.

  • La Industria Lítica Del Yacimiento De Tovilla (Tudela De Duero, Valladolid)
    LA INDUSTRIA LÍTICA DEL YACIMIENTO DE TOVILLA (TUDELA DE DUERO, VALLADOLID). UN NUEVO EJEMPLO DEL ACHELENSE MESETEÑO EN MEDIO FLUVIAL FERNANDO DÍEZ MARTÍN ANTECEDENTES El nombre del Soto de Tovilla es bien conocido en la literatura arqueológica (Palol y Wattenberg, 1974; Mañanes, 1979), habiendo aportado diversos materiales, sobre todo cerámicos, que van desde la Prehistoria reciente hasta época romana y medieval. Las prospecciones arqueológicas llevadas a cabo en las campañas de 1988-89 y 1994 posibilitaron el descubrimiento en esta zona de un conjunto de materiales líticos, considerados entonces como achelenses, dispersos por los restos de una anti- gua terraza al sur del Duero. Bajo los nombres de La Cotarra y Segunda Cotarra se denominaron las industrias documentadas en dos de los seis alomamientos, conti- guos y subparalelos al curso del río, fruto de la degradación de aquella terraza. Los materiales recuperados en ambos sitios fueron dos cantos trabajados, una raedera lateral y un bifaz lanceolado en el primero de ellos y un bifaz cordiforme en el segundo. Por otro lado, desde 1984, José Sánchez Blanco ! se dedicó a la prospección sis- temática de toda la línea de terraza hasta el término municipal de Traspinedo, reco- nociendo la presencia de industria lftica achelense en todas las cotarras. Entre ellas, sin duda, la más sobresaliente tanto en cantidad como en calidad, es la Cotarra de 1 Quisiera mostrar mi más sincero agradecimiento a José Sánchez Blanco, quien generosamente me ofreció la colección y el yacimiento de Tovilla, los materiales de Las Cotarras, me ayudó con la pros- pección y me ofreció cuantioso apoyo.

    ARTÍCULOS Complutum ISSN: 1131-6993 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/cmpl.66339 El poblamiento de la Edad del Hierro en el suroeste de la Meseta Norte Jesús Rodríguez-Hernández1 Recibido: 24 de septiembre de 2019 / Aceptado: 4 de noviembre de 2019 Resumen. En este artículo se analiza la dinámica del poblamiento en el suroeste de la cuenca del Duero a lo largo de la Edad del Hierro (ca. 950-50 cal AC). Para ello, se examinan los diferentes patrones de poblamiento que se pueden distinguir en cada fase, así como las transformaciones y continuidades detectadas en el poblamiento durante este periodo. La Edad del Hierro en esta zona supone la plena sedentarización de los grupos humanos, que se apropiarán de manera efectiva del paisaje, a través de la construcción de poblados permanentes y necrópolis, así como de la configuración de los campos de cultivo y de las zonas de pastos. En este periodo asistimos a la emergencia de aldeas estables, que en un momento determinado se monumentalizan mediante el levantamiento de imponentes sistemas defensivos y, en algunos casos, dan origen a las primeras ciudades (u oppida) de esta zona. A nivel demográfico, la Edad del Hierro parece corresponderse con un momento de crecimiento poblacional que posibilitaría la transformación de aldeas ocupadas por unos pocos cientos de efectivos en ciudades habitadas por miles de personas.

Calle Azafranal 48, 37001 Salamanca, Spain [email protected] Pauline L Smedley British Geological Survey – BGS, Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG, UK [email protected] ABSTRACT Groundwater from springs and boreholes on the southern edge of the Cenozoic Duero Basin (DB) of Spain has concentrations of arsenic (As) which are commonly above the EC drinking-water limit of 10 µg/L, and reach observed values up to 241 µg/L. Groundwater compositions within the sedimentary aquifer vary from Ca-HCO3 type, variably affected by evaporation and agricultural pollution at shallow levels, to Na- HCO3 compositions in deeper boreholes of the basin. Groundwater conditions are mainly oxidising but reducing groundwaters exist in sub-basins within the aquifer, localised flow paths likely being influenced by basement structure. Arsenic concentrations are spatially variable, reaching up to 38 µg/L in springs of the Spanish Central System (SCS) basement aquifer and up to 62 µg/L in springs from the DB. Highest As concentrations are associated with the Na-HCO3 compositions in deep boreholes (200–450 m depth) within the DB.
