4. Vision & Mission Pragmaticcommunities for profitable activities within resilient natural enviroment

5. Objectives • Water quality – Water quality should be according to European Water Framework directives by 2025. • Water quantity – Ensure water availability for agriculture, humans and river by 2025. • Integrated management – At least 80% of stakeholders working together with an integrated approach for river management by 2025. • Ecosystem – Reduce fragmented areas around Guadalete and increase biodiversity, restoring its natural function by 2025. • Economy – Decrease unemployment and find funds for infrastructure.

9. Tax Regulation • The goal is collecting 50 million € for 2030. • January 1stof 2015 • Must pay all persons over 16 years. • Excluded those who participate in a social program. • The higher rate will be 2.5 euros per night in 5 star hotels. • Not affect stays of more than 7 nights.

10. Tax Regulation • The tourist tax will applied depending on the hotel category • The average of the stay of the tourists is 3 days. According to that can be calculated the amount raised per year

11. Tax Regulation • Strategic goal A Designing a more diversified tourism model for the province of Cadiz. • Encourage and promote quality tourism respectful of natural resources and cultural. • Designing a coastal path and green corridors that connects all the municipalities. • Create tourist activities focused on natural environments and develop the model to diversify rural hotel sun and sand. • Promote the location of future hotel infrastructure in urban areas. • Strategic goal B Ensuring long-term tourism in the province of Cadiz by protecting the coastal front. • Creating development pressure control safeguard coastal areas. • Creating municipal coastal resource delegations to coordinate cooperation between administrations. • Promote the following actions: increase quality certifications beaches, conservation and maintenance and water purification and sewage suitability, etc.. • Provide training for sustainable tourism.

12. WWTPs • Every village/company attached to WWTP • Currently 8 villages no WWTP (54,218 i.e.’s) • Effluent has to meet standards • Government investment WWTP’s • Possibility for city/company growth & tourism • Every inhabitant should pay €55,-/year • New WWTP ≈ €10.5 million

13. WWTPs Concept for the new WWTPs • New WWTP • Bornos • Arcos de la Frontera • To be connected with villages without WWT • Year of realisation • 2020 • Funding • Taxes from locals and tourists

14. Energy Production • Population 1,180,817 • Power consuption 4,544,543 MWh

15. Energy Production • This land has many opportunities for using several kind of renovable plants:

16. Energy Production • Small hydropower plants • The hydraulic regulation of the Guadalete river and the presence of the reservoirs took in place many geodethic jump that may be useful for hydroelectric small power plants

17. Energy Production • Small hydropower plants • 2500 kW at Arcos. • 1800 kW at Bornos. • 11145600 kWh/year (2.5% of Province of Cadiz total power consuption). • Approx. 2 million euro yearly revenue. • Might not be profitable considering other costs e.g. personnel and infrasructure, however still usefull. • Therefore this projectshould be government funded.

18. Energy Production • Solar power plants • The solar irradiation in Southern Spain is the biggest in Europe • Endesa, one of the biggest energy companies in Spain, recieved a municipal permit to build a 20.1 MW photovoltaic power plant, but right now the power production of this plant is only 12.3 MW .

19. Energy Production • Wind power plant • Province of Cadiz is settled in a natural funnel between Iberic peninsula and Morocco’s coast that causes and increase in wind velocity • Province of Cadiz alone currently generates 1400 MWh electicity from windmills. • Improving the existing equipmentcould increase the power output to 5000 MWh.

20. Energy Production • Osmosis power plant • Relatively new power production concept. • Very sophisticated equipment using semi – permiable membranes and high water pressure ( around 15 bar). • Therefore expensive to implement and maintain. • Estimated power production at current technological level is estimated at 1 MW/m³s fresh water. • Using membrane technology requires pre-treatment of water to remove turbidity. • Therefore this solution is not feasible for this river – tubidity too high and not enough discharge to justify high upkeep costs.

21. Education • Public Service Ad (PSA) • Non Formal Education • Media • Practical Science Classes • Internship Programs • Water Management Degree Program

22. Education - Expenses

23. Green and Blue Corridors • Natural areas • Wetlands, 50% • Lowlands, 70% • Basins, 80% • Highlands, 90% • Natural shores • Min 5 meters from the river bank

24. Green and Blue Corridors • Fish ladders • Existing examples • Green bridges • Natura paths • Target species • Trout, eels, control of eucalyptus • Time • Lowlands: 10 years, other: 5 years • Budget • EU projects, charity

25. Thank you for your attention Guestions?

26. Plan of Action • WWTP (with helophytes) • Tax benefits for collaborative stakeholders • Local energy production • Awareness and education • Green and blue corridors (natural banks, fish passages) • Exporting water • Using groundwater for agriculture • Garbage bins • Recreational areas • Extensive and sustainable aquaculture • Public transport • Cultural and local resource oriented businesses • Tourism taxes • Getting rid of illegal housing • Drinking water infrastructure • New and efficient irrigation methods • Short term • Short term • Long term • Mid term • Mid term • Mid term • Short term • Short term • Mid term • Mid term • Long term • Mid term • Short term • Short term • Mid term • Mid term
