On the 8th and 9th March 2025, MEMOLab UGR organised, in collaboration with the town council of Oria and local associations, the recovery of historical irrigation channels in the village of Los Cerricos (Oria, Almería).
Seventy people from different interests and disciplines participated: students of Archaeology, History, Geography, Anthropology..., as well as many local people. A total of four irrigation channels, which had been abandoned for more than 40 years, have been recovered. With this action, water has been returned to an area that had been abandoned, allowing these spaces to be cultivated again. This has been a tool of support and empowerment for these local populations.
