Comment on definitions or other indicators

The agrarian census checked, do not provide crossed information. You can either obtain information about the source, or the irrigation system.

6.Participating countries comments

Indicator / Interest (1-5) / Currently used (Yes/No) / Could be used
(1-5) / What would be needed in order to measure it? / Comments
Agricultural water requirements (10^9 m3/yr) / 5 / yes / There are no data series available on the internet.
Treated waste water reused (10^9 m3/yr) / 4 / no / 5 / It is probably being measured but the data are not available on the internet
Drained area as percentage of cultivated land (%) / 5 / yes / There are no data series available on the internet.
Area equipped for irrigation: full control –total (1000 Ha) / 4 / yes / 5 / The information on water source and irrigation method is not crossed

(1-5): measuring scale 1: least interest, difficulty of use or lowest cost; 5 greatest interest, ease of use or greatest cost of implementation.

7.Other Indicators used at national level to monitor consumption of water for agriculture

Acronym of Indicator / Description of indicator / Comments
Water wasted in the distribution net (l/person/day) / It includes all uses

III.National Objectives and Programme of measures

A.List of info sources on objectives, program of measures, activities

List of information sources (report, national strategy, etc.) on objectives, programs of measures, activities planed,in your country, to reduce water consumption in agriculture

Source name / Info available / Comment
/ National Plan for Irrigation / National Plan to improve and modernise Spanish irrigation technologies and thus reduce water consumption, improve environmental conditions in irrigated areas, social improvements, improve agrarian productivity, coordinate the Spanish authorities
/ National Drought Observation Mechanism / All authorities involved in water management take part in this Observatory. Each of them has to provide information in order to reduce the social, economic and environmental effects of potential droughts

B.Objectives

If specific quantitative objectives have been defined at the national level, please list them[3]:

Year / Agricultural water requirements / Treated waste water reused / Drained area as percentage of cultivated land / Area equipped for irrigation: full control –total / Other
End of 2008 / Save 2 751 hm3/year by the end of 2008(1 691 hm3 coming from additional resources and 1876 hm3 from wasted water) / Improvements in138 000 Ha of irrigated surface
