Alarcón Reservoir management during drought
MEASURES
User’s communities are Public Rights Corporations, ascribed to the basin river authority that participate in the nature of Public Administration: Administrative authorityThey have legal personality and own patrimony. Governed by their Statutes and By-Laws and act according to
procedures established by the Water Law and its development regulations, as Legal Regime for Public Administrations and Common Administrative Procedure. Basic role: to administrate and guard the good functioning of the exploitation. Internal organisation
o General Board or Assemblyo Governing boardo Jury/s
Economical regimeo Water consumption feeo General expenses contribution fee
MANAGEMENT WITH USERS
Advantages:
•Resource management by direct beneficiary.
•Work relief of the basin organisation: non-viability for personalised treatment for all the incidents.
•Proximity of Administration to the citizen and participation in the decision-making process (formal and informal).
•Co-responsibility.
•Sustained exploitation of water resources. Optimal current performance of exploitationsFuture generations’ needs satisfaction: rationalisation culture,
economy and protection of water.
Inconvenients:
•Pressure to hierarchic authority: legal, economic and social.
•Diverse degree of management efficiency depending on it being:Exploitation: good water administration. Administrative and economic regime: lack of specialisation
and professionalism.
•Adoption of agreements – majority regime.

•Exploitation characterisation•Definition of the pumping substitution actions•Public Offer for Rights Acquisition (OPAD) •Withdrawal Commission•Permanent Drought Commission of the Governing Board•Governing Board•Water Council•Public Offer for Water Rights Acquisition (POWRA)•Special Drought Plan•Hydrological Basin Plan in Júcar
MANAGEMENT WITH USERS
• JCRMO: Public Rights corporation ascribed to the Júcar River Basin Authority (JRBA), created in 1994 by initiative of users
• Objective: sustainable management of water exploitations • Acknowledged as Users’ Community of the aquifer Mancha Oriental
on 19/2/1999 by resolution of the JRBA• > 800 members and > 90.000 ha• Very active implication of users in planning and management

AGREEMENT FOR THE PUBLIC OFFER OF WATER RIGHTS ACQUISITION (OPAD) IN THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE JUCAR
BASIN FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS
Objective: To reduce water extractions in the middle section of the Júcar river, both in superficial takings, and in subterranean takings with a higher affection to the river.
•2007 Rights acquisition through the reduction of irrigated surfaces.
•2008 Rights acquisition through the use of less water-consuming (spring crops) crops.

Legal Framework
Water Law. Art. 71. Rights Exchange CentresIn certain situations, as drought, authorises to, by agreement of the Ministers’ Council, constitute Water Rights Exchange Centres. Basin organisations will be authorised to develop public offers of water rights acquisition to later give them to other users, through the price payment.
Royal Decree Law 9/2006, of 15 September, by which urgent measures are adopted to palliate the effects produced by drought in towns and agricultural irrigation exploitations in certain Hydrological basins.
Third additional disposition: Authorises as destination of the acquired resources the consecution of good status of the groundwater bodies......

Renewable water resources reduction
New Basin Plan
21
The current Hydrological Basin Plan has allowed for a better and sustainable water management. It is need a sharing management with grounwater users.Public Offer for Water Rights Acquisition is a good example of environmental water resources sharing management.The new Hydrological Basin Plan (WFD) sets new objectives and uncertainties in the consecution of the good quantity status :
o Reduction renewable resourceso Need to incorporate environmental requirementso No disproportioned costso With Public Participation:
• Users• Rest of social agents
