Spain is facing an increasingly difficult situation in terms of
water stress. This is an issue that is due mostly to poor
management practices in all sectors. Large amounts of water have
been used for agricultural purposes at very low prices for too
long; there is an uncontrolled use of most aquifers in rural areas
which result from ineffective control by the public administration;
per capita consumption continues increasing as well as water used
for industrial and energy generation, the construction and tourism
sectors and for recreation activities. In fact, they have all
exerted additional pressure on available water resources. In order
to face the above challenges, water policy has made a gradual shift
towards more rational and sustainable management of water
resources. This has also been influenced by the European Water
Framework Directive about which, as the book discusses, there are
both myths and misunderstandings. This book analyses the very
complex position of all sectors in the country, the alternatives
available and the challenges ahead. In so doing, it makes an
important contribution to the literature on water resources
management. This book was published as a special issue of the
International Journal of Water Resources Development.
