Abstract

The present work outlines an evolution of water management policies and legislation in Spain from the 19th century Bourgeois Revolution until today. The paper focuses on such aspects as main ideological currents of the period that gave rise to the specific ideas of water management; outstanding politicians and lawyers personifying these ideas or implementing them; and the milestones of this evolution. The paper attempts explaining positive effects these ideas had not only on the whole society but also on state organization and economic growth. The paper touches upon current controversial topics, for instance sharing responsibilities between the state and the autonomous regions and sustainability of projects of water transfer between different hydrological basins.
