Aragon rejects the transfer to Catalonia of the management of the main tributary of the Ebro. “It makes no sense to cut up the river,” sources from the Aragonese Executive assure this newspaper.

The transfer of powers in this basin is a historical demand of different Catalan parties. The Generalitat currently has powers to monitor the levels of reservoirs such as Rialb (Lleida), which is at 29% capacity, with 116 cubic hectometres.
