Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. Water from the Tagus-Segura aqueduct may be diverted to the upper Guadiana basin, up to 50 cubic hectometers per year on average. The allocations for the Tablas de Daimiel Natural Park are included in that amount and become permanent.
  2. A reserve of 3 cubic hectometers per year is created to supply towns near the aqueduct, in the Guadiana and Júcar basins. The maximum transferable volume of 600 cubic hectometers does not change.
  3. Hydroelectric power generated from these diversions can be used to offset costs paid by the water users. Existing hydroelectric concessions do not cover these new diversions.
  4. The necessary works are declared of general interest and must undergo environmental impact assessment. Those who benefit from the infrastructure will pay for its amortization, operation and maintenance.
