The Congreso Nacional del Medio Ambiente (Conama 2012) in Madrid focused on Spain's significant advancements in water treatment technologies, including desalination and wastewater reclamation. The document outlines Spain's historical water challenges, legislation milestones, and the current infrastructure, highlighting over 1,300 wastewater treatment plants and a projected increase in reclaimed water production. Spain is recognized as a global leader in the water treatment sector, with ongoing challenges and developments planned for the next decade.

5. SPANISH WATER CHALLENGES
Since the 1970’s, the main water
challenges
in Spain have been
Availability of hydraulic resources
Inadequate water quality
These problems have been solved by
Planning
Legislation
Public administration of water resources
Private sector

6. SPANISH WATER CHALLENGES
PLANNING
MILESTONES:
Water law 1985
Wastewater European Directive 1991
Wastewater National Plan 1995
Hidrologic National Plan 2004
New wastewater Plan 2007
Water Reclamation Act 2007

7. Current Situation
Wastewater Plan:
More than 1.300 wastewater
treatment plants. 400 WWTP
from 2.000
≥ 4.000 Hm3 of wastewater
treated per year
More than 85% of equivalent-
inhabitants acoording to
European Directive
(91/271/CEE)

8. Current Situation
Reclamation:
500 Hm3/year of capacity producing
reclaimed water to REUSE
Agriculture, golfcourse watering,
streets cleanning, environmetal
uses, etc.
New reclamation Plan foresee more
than 1.000 Hm3/year next decade

9. Desalination in Spain
First desalination plants in Canary Islands, end
of the 60's.
The reverse osmosis implementation in
desalination produces a gradual increase in the
output capacity.
1Million m3/day (year 2000)
Desalination Plan 2004 (MIMAM), at the
present under construction.
Output capacity estimated 800-1000 Hm3/year (2011)
