Abstract

Water pricing management in Spain reflects the different opinions of the decentralised governments and the appropriate sectors of the country, where there is considerable impact of the different sectorial laws and practices. The responsibilities of the Federal Government and the Autonomous Communities on this issue are not specifically defined. This has resulted in differing opinions and actions, which could be resolved by considering cost-recovery of the water supply-related services, which are included in the Laws of the Communities (2000/60/CE).
