Cartographic limits of the Hydrographic Confederations

Description

The cartography included in this service contains the main dividing lines that determine the territorial areas of the nine hydrographic confederations for all purposes provided for in the Water Law and in Royal Decrees 650/1987 of 8 May 1987 and 125/2007 of 2 February 2007. This cartography is the one approved by Order TEC/921/2018, of August 30, which defines the lines that indicate the main cartographic limits of the territorial areas of the hydrographic confederations in accordance with the provisions of Royal Decree 650/1987, of May 8, which defines the territorial areas of the river basin organizations and the hydrological plans. The purpose of this official cartographic delimitation is to have a precise reference that specifies the exact line that indicates the boundary between the two areas, an issue that sometimes gives rise to disputes based on the use of different topographic reference bases for the cartographic layout of the hydrographic divides. This cartography does not modify, as it could not be otherwise, the provisions of the aforementioned Royal Decree. This cartography only includes the boundaries between Hydrographic Confederations, without representing either the international borders or the Coast line, since the officialization of these boundary lines (which will generate the closure in polygons of the areas of the Confederations) does not fall within the competence of this Ministry.
