22 The Program of Measures The four axes of the Program of Measures Irrigation Improving po the eefficiency ce cyand consolidation of irrigation water user communities throughout Catalonia. Program Measures Hydro-morphological and biological quality Measures to achieve a good state of physical habitat and biological communities associated with water bodies Water demand and hydraulic resources Measures to ensure the availability of water needed to meet the demands arising from the current and future applications. Water Quality Measures are aimed at maintaining a good physicochemical quality of the water bodies through sanitation treatments and management of diffuse pollution. 22

Basin 425,6 M 25

26 The Program of Measures Irrigation infraestructures Program Measures Investment on modernization and improving efficiency. Plan de Regadíos (Dept. Agricultura, Alimentación y Acción Rural. Generalitat Cat.) Superfície involucrada: ha Estimated water saving: hm3/year Decreasing diffuse pollution Total Investment 1.400,7 M Internal Basin 84,0 M Intercom. Basin 1.316,7 M 26
