5. National and river basin regimes: main developments Once the impact of national regulation on the Matarraña river basin practices has been analysed, and once actors operating at several levels of governance have been characterised, the following section presents a table in which the national and river basin developments are chronologically summarised. The aim of this table is briefly showing the extent to which both the national and river basin regime evolve towards integrated regimes, and what the main connections in both processes are. This summarising table will allow for the understanding of the following section, in which the phases towards integration in the Matarraña river case will be analysed in detail.
