The Rise and Fall of the Ebro Water Transfer
"The Rise and Fall of the Ebro Water Transfer". This article published in
Natural Resources Journal, analyses the Ebro inter-basin transfer, which was
the main project of the Spanish National Hydrological Plan. The Ebro
transfer was prompted by pervasive perssures, scarcity and degradation of
Southeastern basins in Spain.
The heated policy debate on the Ebro transfer highlights the difficulties of
achieving a sustainable management of water resources because of the
conflicting interests of stakeholders and ergions. Alternatives to the Ebro
transfer show that acceptable outcomes combine demand and supply measures.
Nevertheless, implementation could be difficult, requiring compensation to
farmers; otherwise, an excessive burden on farmers would be met by social
opposition, leading to the failure of the measures.
