Summary in the original language of the document
With climate change causing more extreme rainfall and prolonged droughts, ponds play a crucial role in capturing excess water and allowing it to infiltrate into the soil. Alfonso highlights how this process helps replenish aquifers, boost biodiversity, and create carbon sinks. Clara demonstrates how to strategically position ponds, plan overflow exits to prevent dam breakage, and suggests building ponds with separate sediment traps to minimize maintenance.
Summary translation
Con el cambio climático provocando precipitaciones más extremas y sequías prolongadas, los estanques desempeñan un papel crucial captando el exceso de agua y permitiendo que se infiltre en el suelo. Alfonso destaca cómo este proceso ayuda a reponer los acuíferos, impulsar la biodiversidad y crear sumideros de carbono. Clara demuestra cómo colocar los estanques estratégicamente, planificar las salidas de desbordamiento para evitar la rotura de presas y sugiere construir estanques con trampas de sedimentos separadas para minimizar el mantenimiento.
