The hydrologic drought which began in the area of the Júcar River Basin Authority in 2004/05 and that persists up to the present day needed the introduction and, given its special intensity and persistence, the continuation of a series of emergency measures to alleviate the drought effects. The measures applied during the drought were approved in the Procedure Plan approved 13 February 2006 by the Permanent Drought Commission, and are presently included in the Special Alert and Temporary Drought Plan in the Júcar River Basin Authority (PES) and grouped in four categories, which are described in this paper.
