3 Introduction Spanish Constitution 1978: Art. 2 : Spain is a unitary country with Autonomous Communities. Art. 148: competences AA.CC. Art. 149: competences Central Government. Water management Geographic criteria Integrated river basin management

4 DEFINITION OF RIVER BASIN AND RIVER BASIN DISTRICT (SPANISH WATER LAW) Traditional management unit in Spain: river basin. River basin means the area of land from which all surface run-off flows through a sequence of streams, rivers and, possibly, lakes into the sea at a single river mouth, estuary or delta.. (Art. 16 WL) New wider unit following WFD. Art. 16 bis: River basin district means the area of land and sea, made up of one or more neighbouring river basins together with their associated groundwaters and coastal waters. (Art. 16bis WL)

5 RIVER BASIN DISTRICTS (inter-communitary, as stated in Royal Decree 125/2007) 9 OOCC Intercomunitarios. CH

6 Basin organizations in Spain In river basins that include territory of several Autonomous Communities: Basin organizations exist, called Confederaciones Hidrográficas (Hydrographic Confederations). Autonomous Organizations, associated to the Ministry of Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs. They are autonomous to manage their own resources. Legally regulated on Water Law.

7 THE EBRO HYDROGRAPHIC CONFEDERATION Created on 1926 (Irrigation and electricity) s Watter mannagement. Supplies and waste water systems. On 1985 Water Law they are incorporated to a new legal framework. Through R.D. 931/1989 the new Ebro Hydrographic Confederation was established, following 1985 Water Law mandate. R.D.984/1989 defines the structure of the Hydrographic Confederations.
