The application of the existing texts of the Water Law (Royal Legislative Decree 1/2001, of July 20, as amended by Law 62/2003, of December 30, and by Law 11/2005, of June 22), and of the Regulation of the Public Domain Hydraulics (Royal Decree 849/1986 of 11 April, as amended by Royal Decree 606/2003 of 23 May and by Royal Decree 9/2008 of 11 January 2008), in respect of navigation and flotation, makes it necessary to maintain certain measures intended to protect the quality of existing water in rivers and reservoirs to be as appropriate as possible to the preferred uses for the stored waters, safeguarding the natural environment, and progressively reducing the emissions which the motor navigation produces. However, the renewal of the explosion engines used to sail in the Guadiana basin, which has taken place in recent years as a result of the limitations established for the old two-stroke engines, makes possible an increase in usable power from now on, with more modern and efficient engines, thus addressing the demands of certain sectors.

In addition, due to the proliferation of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) in the Ebro river basin, and its most recent detection in the Júcar and Segura basins, the adoption of measures is deemed necessary. specific to prevent the invasion of the Guadiana basin by this aloctone species, since navigation is its main vector of dispersion.

It also seems advisable to maintain and/or establish certain restrictions on navigation and flotation in order to avoid, as far as possible, interference with the common uses of the hydraulic public domain without authorization administrative, fundamentally the bathroom.

On the other hand, the continued increase that navigation and flotation is experiencing day by day in the area of the Hydrographic Confederation of the Guadiana, requires a greater amount of means, both human and material, for the management, protection and improvement of the hydraulic public domain, which the economic-financial regime of its use must collect. In particular, the accrual in favour of the Basin Agency of the so-called "canon of use of the goods of the hydraulic public domain" regulated by Article 112 of the recast text of the Law of Waters, requires its updating.

It is outside the scope of application of the present, navigation for scientific, surveillance or salvage purposes.

For all of the above, and under the powers conferred by the Water Law on the Basin Agency, in particular by Articles 23.1.b), 24.a), 51.a) and 78, this Presidency, having regard to the reports issued by the Autonomous Communities, and on a proposal from the Water Commissioner, resolves the following:

1. Permit the exercise of navigation and daytime flotation, between the sunrise and sunset, in the reservoirs of the Guadiana basin indicated in Annex 1, and in the modalities appearing therein, without prejudice to the limitations, space or time, which may be contained in the following points, provided that the depth available for the practice of navigation or flotation is greater than one metre.

2. Navigation in any stretch of unpacked river will be reduced to the development of public activities, located in space and time (fishing competitions from boat, river routes and descents, public rental services vessels, etc.), and will require the prior and express authorisation of this Hydrographic Confederation, which must be requested at least three months in advance, clearly describing the type of activity, and indicating the section of river to be covered, exact dates or seasons in which it will be developed, and the rates to be applied (if applicable), as any other relevant circumstance about the activity.

3. Allow daytime flotation, between sunrise and sunset, in any stretch of river not artificially packed, as long as the depth available for its practice is greater than one meter.

4. The prior cleaning and disinfection of all vessels and flotation means that have been used in waters other than those located in the management area of the Hydrographic Confederation of Guadiana, taking into account the "protocol", is mandatory. for the disinfection of vessels to prevent the entry of zebra mussel into the Guadiana basin, which is attached as Annex 2 to this resolution, in so far as it applies to each case.

The Guadiana Hydrographic Confederation has mobile facilities for the cleaning of boats and engines, and for the collection of waste, which can be used upon request, indicating that the Disinfection of vessels to prevent the invasion of zebra mussel. However, if, for any reason, the Basin Agency cannot, or is not in charge of, provide this service, it shall, on behalf of the beneficiaries of the authorisations for navigation and flotation, carry out the prior implementation of these measures. prevention in places enabled for this purpose, and must present proof of its implementation.

ANNEX 2

Ship disinfection protocol to prevent entry of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) in the Guadiana basin

The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) is a species native to the waters of the Black and Caspian Sea. Due to its invasive nature and the serious environmental and economic damage it can produce, it is necessary to take preventive measures to prevent its entry into the Guadiana basin. In particular, in relation to the disinfection and cleaning of vessels or materials that may come from areas already infested, since this species has the possibility to move in the larval state in the waters that remain in the vessels, vehicles or trailers, and even fishing gear or other utensils.

A. Motorboats with motor

A. 1 Cleaning of the external elements of the vessel, trailer and vehicle: All parts of the vessel, trailer and vehicle that have been in contact with the water, as well as the vessels or vessels, must be cleaned. departments used as nurseries for the storage of waste water or water from the river.

Any remainder that has been able to adhere to the hull or the engine of the vessel shall be removed by hot water. The minimum temperature of the washing water must be 60 ° C and preferably must be chlorinated water.

The water used in the cleaning of the vessel cannot in any case go to water courses or sewerage networks, it should be collected in tanks or poured directly onto filter ground.

The use of hydrolysators that meet the following characteristics is recommended:

Pressure: 160 minimum bar.

Working temperature: 60 ° C minimum. Instant heater.

Flow: 600-1200 l/h.

A hose of sufficient length to reach all parts to wash in comfort.

Food: preferably gasoil, to ensure operation at any site without the need for electrical outlet.

If disinfection at the place of entry of the vessel is not possible with a mobile cleaning and disinfection equipment, the nearest fixed disinfection station shall be used.

Fumigate with disinfectant solution (1 ml/l must be added, i.e. about 20 drops of bleach per litre of water) the least accessible areas of the vessel.

A. 2 Cleaning and renovation of the engine cooling circuit: Cleaning must be done with a system that ensures the circulation of hot water (60ºC) by the engine cooling system. There are mainly two types:

Submerge the engine into a container with hot water, for small engines.

Circulate hot water to pressure by the cooling circuit, directly, if possible, or with the help of special pieces that facilitate this work.

At the end of the navigation, refresh the cooling circuits of the engines with clean water. To this end, a small acceleration is recommended before stopping the engine to increase the speed of circulation of the water and the temperature of the engine, thus causing the larvae to die. The engine is then removed from the water and rinsed with clean water.

B. Boats without engines

Before you get the boat into a river, it will ensure that the boat or the piragua is completely dry and clean, to prevent the transfer of mussel larvae and the introduction of adults.

In the place where disinfection is carried out, the water shall be emptied from the inside of the pyrowater or boat. If the pyrowater is insufferable, the inside of the hull must also be emptied.

The vessel will be carefully inspected to remove any remaining attached to the hull.

Fumigate with disinfectant solution (1 ml/l must be added, i.e. about 20 drops of bleach per litre of water) the least accessible areas of the vessel.

C. Sailboats

The process of disinfection and cleaning of the sailing vessels shall be the same as that of the rowing boats, and if the auxiliary motor is available it shall be cleaned and renewed as set out in paragraph A. 2.

D. Windsurfing and float tubes tables

The surfboards, in their different modalities, or the various flotation means (float tubes, ducks, catamarans ...) will be subjected to disinfection and cleaning in an analogous way to the rowing boats.

Equipment Disinfection: For all of the above scenarios, in the appropriate cases, the following recommendations will be followed:

There will be the emptying of ballast water debris and vessel nurseries, deposits, sentines, as well as equipment that has been in contact with the water.

Special care and attention should be taken with those parts that may be accidentally containing mussel, such as the drawing of the sole of the boots, hooks, screws, etc.

Fishing gear (nets, nets, etc.) must be disinfected, either by immersion or spraying with a disinfectant solution (1 ml/l must be added, i.e. about 20 drops of bleach per litre of water). Special care should be taken to ensure that the washing water does not return to the aquatic environment, in order to avoid affections to other organisms.

The rest of the sports team that has been in contact with the water (helmet, paddles, lifeguards, etc.) must be disinfected either by soaking, dipping or spraying with a disinfectant solution (1 ml/l must be added, it is say about 20 drops of bleach per liter of water.) Special care should be taken to ensure that the washing water does not return to the aquatic environment, in order to avoid affections to other organisms.

Competitions: The organizers of any sporting competition (fishing, canoeing, rowing ...) in which any type of boat or floating device, which takes place within the scope of the management of the Confederation Hydrographic of the Guadiana, they must ensure that all the vessels or participating artifacts receive an appropriate treatment to their characteristics. A certificate issued by the Guadiana Hydrographic Confederation or authorised body shall be required.

The species is in full dispersion, it can be in places where it is not known, therefore, always act as if it were present.

If you see any animal with characteristics similar to the zebra mussel, or suspected of its presence, put it in immediate knowledge of the Hydrographic Confederation of Guadiana (924 31 66 00), of the Autonomous Community or of the SEPRONE.
