The basis of hydrographic network 1: 50000 is a project carried out by joint order of the Ministry of the Environment (DMA) and the Catalan Water Agency (ACA). The aim of this project is to obtain digital databases and GIS network watershed of Catalonia for scales 1: 50000. The primary source of information for the elaboration of this theme was based hydrographic network base topographic 1: 50000 (BT-50M v3.0) was defined criteria and topographic database drainage basins, for what has become a task of densification and homogenization. It has kept the artificial network but has not been taken into account in generating basins, and in the case of natural drainage network has added sections connection guarantee continuity of it. This coverage corresponds to the selection of the 0 degree axis of the base network of rivers (xarxa50m), adding those areas corresponding to the selection made so that all points of Environmental Control (Inspection and Control), it is referenced on the same network. Only display areas corresponding to the basins of Catalonia.

Allows visualization and query vector data and information associated alphanumeric Networks Hydrological Environment Control, as defined in Directive 2000/60 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy in the form of networks.

The Catalan Water Agency, as Basin Organization, has a Water Register comprises 3 sections (A, B, C) has a computer data structure and a book of entries (tokens enrollment). It officially enroll concessions waters, changes in ownership or changes to the characteristics of concessions, contracts of sale, the legalization of exploitation at a flow rate of 7,000 m3 / year and the uses of private waters (transitional provisions of the Water Act). Since the Water Register is public, and registration is the means of proof of the existence and location of the concession, anyone can apply for certification on the rights of registered water use to the Catalan Water Agency. Rights holders of registered water harvesting enjoy administrative protection.

The basis of basins 1: 50000 is a project carried out by joint order of the Ministry of the Environment (DMA) and the Catalan Water Agency (ACA). The aim of this project is to obtain digital databases and GIS network watershed of Catalonia for scales 1: 50000. It starts from the Terrain Elevation Model (DEM) of Catalonia 15x15 meters generated by interpolation from the altimetric information gathered with the Topographic Map 1: 5000 Catalonia With the new version 1. Elevation Model extracted from the base 1 : 5000 v2 will have a more favorable hydrological behavior, but at the time of starting the generation of watershed only one part of the territory. In this version only shows the basins corresponding to the area of basins of Catalonia.
