Role in marine infrastructure

The Júcar River Basin Authority administers the public hydraulic domain and water use across the Júcar River Basin District. Its remit combines hydrological planning, permits and concessions, drought and flood-risk management, hydrological monitoring, and the design, construction and operation of works financed by the authority or entrusted by the state. At Torrent, Spain's Directorate-General for Water awarded the main treatment-plant contract; CHJ supplies the owner-side technical record and is the delivery authority for the separate post-DANA emergency flood-defence and setback workfront.
