In water management participated all citizens as users of a public good that is, a good that belongs to everyone and subject to few exceptions established by law, can not be owned by private-and public agencies as administrators the resource.

The latter have to exercise their functions subject to the following general principles:

• Management Unit, comprehensive treatment, water economy and user participation.
• Respect for the unity of the river basin, hydraulic and hydrological cycle.
• Support for planning and conservation and environmental protection.

Water resource planning is implemented through Basin Water Plans and the National Hydrological Plan, which will be public and binding, ie binding on all state, regional governments, corporations and other public entities, private entities and individuals.

Its objectives are to increase the availability of water, protect its quality, streamline applications, protect the environment and ensure that Spanish look better satisfy their water demands.

To ensure unity of natural basin management have created Basin Organizations that retain the traditional name River Basin. The Aragonese territory and is attached to three confederations: Ebro, Tajo Júcar, which corresponds among other things, the development of corresponding Hydrological Plan and the administration and control of public water and harnessing public interest or affecting more than one region.

The Statute of Autonomy of Aragon confers exclusive jurisdiction on this region, on the use of water, irrigation canals and regional interest, mineral and thermal waters.

The municipalities are responsible for water supply and sanitation minicipal, including financing and construction of the necessary infrastructure for what might have technical and economic cooperation by the Provincial Councils and the Government of Aragon.

The record of climate data is the National Meteorological Institute's mission. The Geological and Mining Institute of Spain contributes to the study of groundwater.

Citizens, as well as through their political representatives can participate in water management-individually or through economic and professional organizations, as appropriate, in decision-making or advisory bodies as the Higher Council of Water and created within the Basin Organizations. They can become User Communities, a long tradition in our country.
