Doñana threats clears
Administrations cater to the recommendations of Unesco and support the plan to control the illegal use of water in the park environment

Even in the best neighboring blocks are problems of coexistence. Doñana natural park flanked to the east by the Guadalquivir River and the North in the strawberry plantations Huelva- not escape the tensions between neighbors over conflicting interests . The park yesterday held an important meeting of community Aznalcázar ( Sevilla). The special full Board Involvement Doñana representatives of the municipalities in the area, environmentalists , Junta, government , scientists, trade unions, employers ... For three hours we were discussing the problem that confronts them sat : the distribution water . Finally, most , some , such as mayors, reluctantly approved start bringing order to the uncontrolled use of water resources for agriculture , which is affecting the aquifer 27 , which feeds the countryside .
The Participation Council attended yesterday the recommendations of Unesco has warned that the threat to the park that uncontrolled use of water and dredging project to deepen the Guadalquivir . For one, the special management plan irrigated crops there north of Doñana was approved. This policy began to work it the Board seven years ago and has suffered countless delays. The meeting rejected , also by a large majority , the plan of bank protection Doñana submitted by the port of Seville . Approval depends in part on the Port Authority to deepen the river depth to fit boats higher up the Andalusian capital. Following the delivery of the Participation Council , these plans seem to unworkable extension of dredging .
In both cases , the dredging and uncontrolled use of water that make many of the Doñana farmers , environmental groups carry warning for years. Their complaints were supported by UNESCO. Doñana Park is a World Heritage Site since 1994. And at the last session of the World Heritage Committee , held in June 2013 in Cambodia, urged Spain to solve these threats. Otherwise, Doñana risked getting "in the list of World Heritage in Danger" .
The two pronouncements of the Doñana are not binding. But in both cases, the Board assumed. "We will not approve the plan to protect the banks ," he said after the city 's Environment Minister , Maria Jesus Serrano. The processing of the port project is now "suspended " . Regarding irrigation plan , which will be calculated Serrano finally adopted in the last quarter of the year, and I still must gather some industry reports .
But final approval is only the beginning. The plan provides that , within five years, hundreds of illegal wells that collect water from the aquifer are closed. In the municipalities of Huelva Almonte , Bonar , Lucena Port, Moguer and Savallà County 's 506 licensed abstractions . WWF claims that there are over a thousand illegal wells , plus rafts and piping systems that either have permissions . The Guadalquivir River Basin has opened 200 disciplinary proceedings for illegal extraction of water in the area .
"Everyone recognized that the situation was chaotic ," said Miguel Delibes, chairman of Participation, after the meeting. He also stressed that the different actors admit to be "regular" this disorder, which is already affecting the international projection of Huelva strawberry , the main producing province of Spain . In his opinion, the adoption of the plan is not the end of the problem, because now you have to develop the standard and because " there is always a shortage of water."
The plan envisages that the area may have only 9,338 hectares of irrigated land , which will mean the elimination of 1,000 to 1,200 acres are considered illegal . The representatives of the municipalities and irrigators , despite criticizing such deletion , voted yesterday for the management plan. Yes, demanded that a clause be included for those acres can be legalized in the future if there is enough water .
The four representatives voted against environmentalists . Among other things, critics have been legalized more acres of the account and the calculations of the water that will benefit farmers make unfeasible the survival of the aquifer. " The plan is not the solution ," summed Felipe Fuentelsaz , WWF . Environmentalists joined the rejection itself to the intentions of the port of Seville. 38 members voted against, three abstained and one voted against , the representative of the Andalusian entrepreneurs. For the plan of irrigation, 37 representatives voted in favor, five declined and there was one abstention.
Pipeline gas projects and other risks

Unesco following closely for years the state of Doñana natural park with a large international presence. The United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization has made several recommendations to the Spanish government on various projects. In the meeting that was held last summer in Cambodia an opinion that " significant efforts " of the various Administrations stood out to take their recommendations of 2011 , among which were monitoring the pipeline project between Badajoz and Huelva was agreed that intended to undertake Balboa Refinery . This project was buried in 2012, when the Ministry of Environment issued a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact .
In the latest ruling , the Administrations are urged not to allow dredging to deepen the Guadalquivir is made, and to bring order once in the uncontrolled use of water. But also Unesco fixed a new problem : the project to extract and store gas underground Doñana . The Environment Ministry granted the permits to Natural Gas, but the Andalusian infrastructure remains locked . The Environment Ministry has refused to process the Unified Environmental Authorisation project to understand that there are risks to the protected space.
