"Almost a work of diplomacy" described as the Director general of the water of the Ministry of environment and Rural Environment and marine (MARM), Marta Morén, watershed management when the autonomous communities do not coincide with the river basin districts. So said earlier this month, coinciding with the summer course 'Situation of the governance of the water in Spain in view of the DMA', organized by the foundation engineering and society. In addition, the head of water of the Marm honest to acknowledge that it is difficult to comply with the "ambitious" goals of the water framework directive. Given the difficulty of implementation of the WFD in the year 2015, Morén advanced that extensions are already planned for the years 2021 and 2027 due to the technical impossibility in some cases or by the high costs entailed.
Even so, it has also ensured that compliance with these requirements will mean a revolution for the country, because that will be integrated economic analyses and the recovery of costs. He also advocated inform the consumer in this respect, that this process will affect your bottom line. In addition, he stressed that the availability of this resource will be conditioned by the existing possibilities and given that the current demand is higher than the same, should be a management adapting consumption to the sustainability of the water.
