"The mugades" is a record that we have to remember, although we have not lived, we must remember that we have real facts. Muga is a part of the history of Castelló d'Empuries.
Another factor that made me decide to choose this project, honestly, is the proximity of the phenomenon, not for comfort, but the incidence of flooding that occurred there, what I call home, the town of Castelló de Empúries . On the other hand have chosen to do this investigation because the department has proposed the research related to Muga and it caught my attention.
Finally, some factors that have helped me to finish choosing the research called the flooding of the river Muga are not is an issue which has a high knowledge level, because many people nowadays do not have experienced the floods, and therefore are concerned. On the contrary during the past that people had enough knowledge to know the damage that could lead both to get in such fields as infrastructure.
All these reasons cause which induced me to believe that this work would be very interesting and promising.
OBJECTIVES:
The main objective of the research work is to try to determine the return period of the river Muga from the different floods caused by river, also called "mugades".
The second objective is to try to develop a risk map based on data obtained in the main objective to appear on the areas with high risk, medium and low.
A third objective is to try to discover the signal that the river has left the bed during the flood.
METEDOLOGIA:
The methodology followed for conducting the research was to search for information on the theoretical physical geography, also from the weather ... and theoretical information on the bank of the river Muga.
This information was searched from castelló Hall of Empuries, in the Library and in the Internet.
The second step was to determine the region to study that was determined doing interviews to the people of the village. With this interviews I did develop a portfolio of interviews to find facts and dates of the various flooding.
The study area was divided into sections bring the following information:
- Area / length
- Form of the course
- Orientation
- Human intervention
CONCLUSIONS:
The conclusions that I have got with doing this work are:
- 12 floods in 80 years, from 1913 until 1993.
- The average time between flood and the next is 6.67 years.
- There are 7 floods on the autumn, 4 on winter and 1 on summer.
- From 7 floods that occurred in the autum 4 were produced in October, equal to 57.14%. Two floods that are in this vintage have been classified as major category, one in midle of December and the other in October.
- From the floods in winter, 3 happened in February.
Of all the floods that have been determined at this period of 80 years, 7 were happened before the 1967 was the year which came into operation in the swamp’s Boadella and 5 have been after this date.
- The most important floods and with the high category it is the flood of 1987, curiously, there was at the time of the operation of the swamp.
- This may seem contradictory since one of the functions of the swamp is to minimize the consequences of floods. - But these particular flood was due largely to the lack of foresight as it was releasing water from the swamp too much and too late.
This is a clear example of the importance of good foresight to avoid disasters and risks.
Another conclusion which was reached and one of the most important is the risc map that you can observe.
• The red areas are the areas with higher risk of being flooded. • The blue areas are the areas with a medium risk of suffering from flooding. • The yellow areas are the areas with a lower risk of suffering from flooding.
PERSONAL CONCLUSIONS:
Personally, this research work has given a lot of knowledge about my people, Castelló de Empuries and a broad understanding and how act the floods and the affects of the river Muga to the population.
Human rights refer to the basic and freedoms which all humans have. The most important right that the people have are:
The right of live, The right of expression, The right of equality before the law, The right of education and The right to work.
The Right of live:
Life is a characteristic of all organismes. I think that this right is the most important right and the others are relationated or based with it. This is very important for the people because it can't be refused or eliminated for the government or any entity of it. Either can't be deny for the law because be a human means that you have the right to live because a human is an organisme alive and anyone has the right to not give up your right to live.
The Liberty of expression:
The liberty of expression is the freedom to act or believe being stopped by unnecessary force. This right I think that also is important because with it you are able to act according your own will. That not means that you can do everything you want, but means that you can do what you want, talk about you ideas, your beliefs... providing that it's within the legislation.
The Equality before the law:
This is the principle which each individual person is subject to the same law without privileges for social class, economic level... I think that this righ is also very important because everybody have to be in the same distance to the law and the law to be fair would act objectively for every person and for every case.
An other right that I consider very important and necessary is the right of education because the knowledge and the learning are considered free and also compulsory. The basic education should be for all the children of the world but nowadays that's not like the law says.
And to finish the right to work that says that everybody has the right to work and have a job. This is because if everbody has the opportunity to gain his living by work which he freely chooses or accepts, and will take appropriate steps to safeguard this right.
All of these right I think that are important to our lifes and also are necessary to get the same objective: All human beings are free and equal in dignity and rights. They have conscience and reason and they should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Some people say that the only way to win or to not increase the ilegal sale of drugs is legalizating it.
I think that to take drugs is an individual choice and none forces you to take it, but a lot of peple don't think so.
A part from that, if we legalize the drugs, we have to change a lot of laws that are against it. So, if we legalize drugs this also afects the government.
Finally I think that crime will not be reduced with drugs legalization. A person who takes drugs have a violent behavoir caused by it.
In conclusion, drugs shouldn't be legalized because it will happens the same or worse.
Local governments retain the autority to block the construction of wind farm. The licenses for news wind farms are in the hands of councils and the Catalan government's new legalislation that regulates the creation of the devolepement of these types of farms.
The localitzation of these farms are unknown. They have only about four months to make the final desition. Also the legalitzation limits the construction of solar parks that in a lot of places are not allowed to build.
The final desition decided for the government is building these farms. This desition has not accepted by Eliocat because they say that this will affects in ours landscapes and the fauna like the bird's emigration.
Some 45 Catalan professionals working in all areas of cenmatography have clubbed together to form the Academia de les Arts i Ciències Cinematogràfiques Catalanes.

The brazilian environment minister has promised that he will show the names of the people responsible for the amazon desforestation.
The brasilian government announced some solutions to save the Amazon, but after that satellites showed that the desforestation was increasing.
The lastest iniciative was based on the absense of punishment with the desforestation. When the names of the people that they have been doing the desforestation were showed they were punished for doing illegal actions. Thanks of these measures the illegal desforestation has been reduced.
Opinion essay
I think that this problem was started for the high prices of wood and for the high quality of it. This wood is used to make a lot of things and it’s necessary nowadays.
On the one hand desforestation has increased rapidly and this has an effect around the world and the Earth too. Because with less plants the levels of concentration of CO2 and CFC increases and effects the global warming.
On the other hand desforestation destroys a lot of natural habitats of animals and this produces animal’s extintion. Also the desforesters that have been doing it illegaly should be punishec with economial taxes.
Also they should be obliged to do reforestation and help to cure the forests. And to finish these taxes will be used to solve desforestation.
Nowadays languages are very important in our society because we use them to communicate with other people.
In my opinion to learn a language it is very important to have a knowladge about grammar, puntuation and spelling. Because it is necessary to understand what the people say and what they want to espress.
Grammar is very useful because if you know it you will make you sentences better than a person that doesn’t know it.
Spelling is also very important because if you have to speak with people, you will speak better if you know how to speak more fluently than another person that doesn’t know it.
And puntuation is necessary to transmit the espression marks like exclamation, interrogation, sentences not finished, etc.
In conclusion to have a good level of any language you have to have more or less knowledge of these three points: grammar, puntuation and spelling.
