The Council of Ministers has authorised the signing of a collaboration agreement between the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation (CHG) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), through the Institute of Sustainable Agriculture (IAS), for the development of a hydrological model of the basin.

The hydrological basin model is a simplified representation of the basin that includes the mathematical formulation of the most important water movements within it. In addition, it will improve knowledge about the use of water and will constitute an appropriate management tool. A simple approach is adopted based on the definition of sinks (irrigable areas, industry, supplies), transport channels (rivers and canals) and sources (reservoirs, rivers, aquifers, returns).

A Monitoring Committee will be created, made up of two members of the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation and two members of the IAS-CSIC, which will direct the work and its progression. The Commission will meet at least every two months.

The agreement, whose financing will be assumed by the CHG, will have a budget of 177,712 euros and will be valid for three years.
