PARTICIPATION
PLANNING
The principles of a “new water culture” are driving water management in Catalonia. This strategy is completely coherent with the Water Framework Directive’s objectives.

The first diagnosis of the system has been done during the IMPRESS
analysis, which could be identify as the environmental diagnosis allowing
the identification of the main pressures threatening the achievement of
WFD’s:Environmental: IMPRESS
Identification of 588 water bodies.
37 % of them being under a high - moderate risk of no-compliance of the WFD’s
objective by the end of 2015.
Water demand: Estimation on the increment of the water demand of around 160
hm3 by the 2025.
Economic Sustainability: Challenge on reaching the complete cost recovery of the
services given by the use of water taking into account solidarity and equity principles
(actually the cost recovery is around 37%)
Social Sustainability: Moving from democratic representation to democratic
participation…public should actively participate to the decision making process FROM
ACTIVE to PROACTIVE participation
Besides the Impress, other kind of diagnosis have been developed:
