Strong
population growth starting in the 60s together with pressure exerted
by strong economic activity on the environment as well as excessive
exploitation of the resources have altered and seriously harmed
the environment.
|
The
deterioration is in the form of contamination in the rivers as well
as along the coast, atmospheric contamination and also the enormous
problem of industrial waste dumps.
The environmental problem, although more intense in certain areas, is spread throughout the Basque Country. |
|
|
|

|
An
important proportion of the residuals generated are dumped into
the environment with no control, which constitutes a huge problem
due to its incidence on contaminating the soil, the air and the
water.
|
So,
to palliate this situation, actions have been developed along the
lines of reducing the activity of certain contaminating productive
sectors as well as curtailing the already existing harmful effects
deriving from industrial activity.

On
the other hand, the BCAC is a territory in which the problems of
industrial ruins have a great presence: mined-out mineral deposit
areas, industrial facilities in sectors subjected to hard reconversion
processes, etc., have provoked the appearance of large surfaces
that are altered in their natural environment or with obsolete or
decaying industrial facilities giving rise to an image of degradation
that strongly conditions the creation of new dynamics and requires
the recovery and reordering of those surfaces. Their rehabilitation
is an objective to achieve.
