Rioseco/Rusecu is home to the Casa del Agua, a centre for discovering the history of the uses of water and raising awareness of its importance as the most valuable of natural resources.
It houses some of the contents of the Spanish pavilion at the Zaragoza Expo 2008, dedicated entirely to water, as well as audiovisual and interactive displays that show the richness and variety of the landscape that enriches the water of Spain's rivers and especially the environment of the Redes Natural Park.
It also explains in an entertaining way the technological progress achieved to make a more efficient use of water resources while respecting the environment.
Outside the building, a space is dedicated to the ingenious devices that used water as a driving force, among which we should highlight the hydraulic mill, used to obtain flour; and the mazapilas, which took advantage of the water currents in the pasture areas to scare away animals such as wild boars, bears and wolves, and thus prevent them from causing damage to crops and livestock.
