Between rally and rally in the middle of the 28M electoral campaign, Emiliano García-Page learned of the decision of the Supreme Court to reject the suspension of the ecological flow of the Tagus requested by the Generalitat Valenciana. And in addition to celebrating it, he considers that with this decision the courts validate the agreement on the new Hydrological Plan for this river and that, therefore, “there must be a cut in the Tagus-Segura transfer from now on.”
The decision of the Supreme Court is one more chapter of the conflict that the shielding of the ecological flows of the Tagus has opened again between Castilla-La Mancha and the regions that are supplied by the transfer of its headwaters, such as the Valencian Community, Murcia or the province from Almeria. The water returns to the political debate again and Page has not wasted the wind in favor that supposes that the Supreme Court does not annul this ecological flow, which has not even been applied yet in its entirety, in a precautionary manner, as requested by the Government of Ximo Puig.
It was at the end of January when the Council of Ministers approved the new hydrological planning of 12 inter-community demarcations with the photo placed on the volume of water that must pass through Aranjuez (Community of Madrid) to enable fluvial life in the Tagus River. There will be 7 cubic meters in a first period, 8 cubic meters in 2026 and 8.65 cubic meters in 2027 of guaranteed flow for this river.
Precisely today it has been made public that the reservoirs at the head of the Tagus, Entrepeñas and Buendía, have reduced their capacity this week by 16.75 cubic hectometres and currently store a total of 653.97, which represents 25.97% per percent of its capacity, which amounts to 2,518 hectometres, according to data provided by the Tagus Hydrographic Confederation.
