Abstract

There is a need of planning the compatible uses for water. The water supply to Bizcay has its origin in the basins of the watersheds of the north (between 25 % and 40 %, depending on the rainfall of the year), and in the basins related to the water transfers from the headwaters of River Zadorra and River Cerneja (between 75 % and 60 %), both tributaries of River Ebro. These two resources count on an energy generation system each. This way the energetic use and the domestic use are brought into line, together with the recreational and regulation uses of the reservoirs of the headwaters.
