The paper offers a summary of the working procedure adopted as to a SEA for the A.G.U.A. immediate action
programme as for the Mediterranean Basin(AUPACM alternatives) and in so doing, while giving special
emphasis to its most germain aspects, also makes much of how strategic alternatives were in it compared in
the light of their environmental impact. The author makes plain that SEA cannot question the aims behind such
plans or programmes that it might assess, these being in the last analysis political decisions, this except for when
there are indeed critical environmental impacts involved which would invalidate as unfeasible such aims.
Notwithstanding, SEA can, should and must analyse environmental impact in the light of possible alternative
options and lay out such measures that would lessen such impact and, failing that, off-set the same were such
alternatives to be ignored. The SEA of the AUPACM alternative is here felt to enjoy additional relevance as it
offered an environmental impact alternative to the Ebro River Piping-Off Scheme in terms of a “curbed demand”
alternative thus coming down in favour of the A.G.U.A. programme as against any other. The paper brings
together the essence of the assessments then made along with their final environmental impact recommendations.
