On Valencian Community, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, the word “ullal” is used to define a specific sort of natural freshwater springs. The term "ullal" could be literally translated as "eye", and its use refers to the places where water sources or springs at the surface, across fractures in the soil, resulting in ponds, usually of small size, or waterways locally known as “escorredors”. [sic] The “ullals” often develop a very rich biodiversity, since their isolation gives them a special value as a shelter for many adapted species to aquatic environments, especially for those who are sensitive to the disruption and loss of water quality. In these springs water emerges continuously, from deep layers of the soil, free of certain pollutants, that ensures exceptional quality of the resource. This situation allows that many plants and animals, disappeared from other wetlands, have survived in “ullals”. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2014-10-15 10:34:08 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Muchas gracias. |
