These works were destined for environmental protection, improvement of the guarantee and quantity of water for urban use, improvement of efficiency of water use for agriculture and improvement of infrastructures of water supply. Conclusions As a result of the efficacy of proactive and reactive measures, the worst drought in modern times in the Jucar basin, lasting from year 2005 to 2008, passed with relatively low economic and environmental damages; urban supply was always fulfilled; and conflicts among users were solved in an atmosphere of transparency and cooperation promoted by participatory approaches. Some of the measures mentioned to deal with the drought were implemented for the first time in Jucar basin, as for instance: water rights purchases (PORA); voluntary cuttings in groundwater extraction from Mancha Oriental Aquifer; direct treated wastewater reuse by traditional irrigation in lower Turia basin; conjunctive use of surface and groundwater by traditional irrigation in the lower Jucar Basin, with energy expenses paid by users with junior rights; and improved control measures for control of water use and environmental flows. And they proved to be very effective in the mitigation of the drought impacts. Therefore, many of these measures adopted in the campaign plans approved by the Permanent Droughts Commission will become permanent practices, after a convenient remodeling to adapt for ordinary management, and the lessons learned from this experience will help in the production of new versions of the Basin Plan, and of the Special Drought Plan of Jucar basin. 163
