La laguna de agua salada más grande de España podría estar enfrentando un colapso ecológico
Hoy en San Javier, Murcia, ha tenido lugar una reunión del Foro de Coordinación Interadministrativa del Mar Menor, presidido por Antonio Luengo, consejero de Agua, Agricultura y Medio Ambiente. Se anunció que se llevarán a cabo 48 iniciativas para salvar el frágil ecosistema de la laguna del Mar Menor y para ello se invertirán 122,6 millones de euros.
Las iniciativas que fueron discutidas y anunciadas en la reunión son parte del Programa de Control y Mejoramiento de las Redes Pluviales de Saneamiento y Estaciones Depuradoras de Aguas Residuales 2020-2030. En su esencia, la idea es avanzar hacia la creación de redes separadas para dirigir y recolectar las aguas de saneamiento y las aguas pluviales.
"Perseguimos el objetivo de separar las redes de pluviales de las de saneamiento, debido a la diferencia importante en la carga contaminante que disponen ambos tipos de agua", explicó el consejero Luengo, agregando que "por un lado, se establece la obligatoriedad de ejecutar redes separativas en todos los nuevos desarrollos urbanos del entorno del Mar Menor, promoviendo de esta forma tratamientos diferenciados para estas redes, mientras que en las zonas existentes, se prevé la posibilidad de establecer nuevas redes de pluviales exclusivas, que reduzcan el volumen de agua introducido en los sistemas unitarios”.
Puede parecer sorprendente, pero en el caso del Mar Menor, en realidad son las aguas de lluvia las que se consideran más dañinas para su frágil ecosistema. El año pasado hubo mucha preocupación después de que una gran cantidad de peces fueron encontrados muertos en la superficie de la laguna.
El motivo está en la particular composición biológica y física del Mar Menor, que está separada del Mar Mediterráneo por una estrecha franja de arena (La Manga). Las lluvias torrenciales hacen que el nitrógeno y el fósforo de los suelos agrícolas circundantes sean arrastrados al lago, lo que a su vez provoca un mayor crecimiento de algas.
Cuando hay una floración de algas, la capa superior del cuerpo de agua se vuelve densa y no deja que la luz solar penetre profundamente. Esto, a su vez, hace que el fondo de la laguna sea deficiente en oxígeno y llega a ser esencialmente una zona muerta.
Los peces y cangrejos buscan refugio en la capa superior; sin embargo, los vientos fuertes pueden empujar la capa superior hacia un lado permitiendo que la capa muerta resurja atrapando a los animales asfixiándolos como consecuencia. Por eso es importante medir los niveles de oxígeno, salinidad, turbidez y niveles de clorofila, ya que estos son los indicadores esenciales de si el ecosistema está equilibrado.
Entre los proyectos previstos, los más importantes son las instalaciones de colectores pluviales y sistemas de prevención de desbordes y drenajes sostenibles.
