Castilla-La Mancha Plans Tajo Flow Lawsuit as Valencia Protests Spain’s Morocco Water Funding

The transfer commission plans a 27 hm3 release under Rule 2 even with a 64 hm3 carryover shortfall.

Overview

  • Regional minister Mercedes Gómez said Castilla-La Mancha is preparing a court complaint to force immediate application of the Tajo’s maximum ecological flows.
  • She argued that final Supreme Court rulings already require full ecological flows and that the government need not wait for a pending case linked to SCRATS.
  • Castilla-La Mancha contends the planned 27 hm3 transfer violates hydrological planning because 64 hm3 from the previous hydrological year remain outstanding.
  • Valencian president Juanfran Pérez Llorca announced an autonomous water table and demanded that Pedro Sánchez explain funding for water projects in Morocco.
  • Irrigation leaders Roque Bru and Pepe Andújar denounced unequal treatment and warned of mobilizations, citing an official SpainMorocco document covering desalination in Casablanca and inter-basin works.
