Spain’s Supreme Court ruled on May 6 that the EU Member State has to comply immediately with national and European laws to guarantee ecological flow requirements along protected stretches of the Tagus river. This ruling will affect the water transfer between the Tagus and Segura rivers. After an extremely wet spring the water transfer, named the Tajo – Segura Trasvase, was fully reactivated in April.
