1 Background to the PFRA European Overview - UC9810.5b The individual Member State Reports reflect the situation as reported by the Member States to the European Commission in 2012 The situation in the MSs may have altered since then Assessment of data and information reported by Member States on their Preliminary Flood Risk Assessments and identification of Areas of Potentially Significant Flood Risk under the Floods Directive Member State Report: Spain The main outcomes of the assessment were: 1. Methodologically, the National authorities ensured the transposition of the Floods Directive and have established guidance that is closely followed in the RBDs 2. All types of floods have been included in the assessment. 3. All aspects of Art.4 have been considered in the PFRAs based on a vast analysis of different information including records, reports, studies, (emergency) plans, press clippings, interviews and surveys. 4. All categories of adverse consequences have been applied in. 5. International Coordination with PT runs under the Convenio de Albufeira bilateral agreement and the corresponding PFRAs have been reported to PT. 6. The impact of climate change according to the IPCC are unclear, in particular regarding a quantification of changes and thus climate change is not considered in the statistical values of flood flows. Climate change might induce an upward trend in the frequency of flood events, but will not affect the magnitude of flood. Therefore the current PFRA should be valid in future. 7. Interaction with the WFD happened mainly/only by the analysis of man-made flood defences which was based on the pressures of the RBMPs. Question 0: Contextual information regarding the Member State Spain is divided into 25 UoMs (equivalent to RBDs), out of which 8 are international (4 shared with PT, 2 with FR, 1 with Andorra and 2 with Morocco), and 8 are islands or island groups. Climatic and water use features are quite different for the RBD subsets, in particular to 4 RBDs in the Northwest and some of the islands. The National RBAs are responsible for planning and many other water management issues of the 10 inter-regional RBDs, though Regional and Local authorities do also hold relevant responsibilities. Regions are responsible for the planning of RBDs that lie entirely in their geographic area. Methodologically, the National authorities ensure the implementation of the Floods Directive (via Real Decreto 903/2010, de evaluación y gestión de riesgos de inundación) and have established guidance (e.g. Guía Metodológica para el Desarrollo del Sistema Nacional de Cartografía de Zonas Inundables. Evaluación Preliminar del Riesgo. Draft Version 5.0 and others) that is closely followed with some basin-relevant adaptations - for the 10 inter-regional RBDs and also often applied in the Regional RBDs. 1 of 17
2 International Coordination with PT runs under the Convenio de Albufeira bilateral agreement and the corresponding PFRAs have been reported to PT. The need for cooperation with the other countries has been included in the legislation. 017 has exchanged information with FR under the Toulouse Agreement (note, no reporting from 091 on this topic, but Spain has subsequently indicated that this has been resolved in the reporting of FHRM). 150 and 160 report that flooding is not relevant for the international part of the RBDs, so no coordination was carried out. The majority of Spain s UoMs (22 RBDs) have applied Art.4; three UoMs (020, 070, and 080) have applied Art.13.1(a), and none has applied Art.13.1(b). Spain has reported data for 25 UoMs and 1248 APSFRs have been identified, mainly due to fluvial events (809 = 65%) and seawater (378 = 30%). Most areas are included due to their significant effects on the economy (1156 = 93%) and human health (886 = 71%). In the public participation process, the main participants came from other administrations and the allegations were focused on the area and risk ranking of specific APSFRs. Interaction with the WFD happened mainly by the analysis of man-made flood defences which were based on the pressures of the RBMPs.

4 All types of floods have been included in the assessment. Historical and potential flooding from sewerage systems has been considered in the analysis. Spain has reported 1248 APSFRs for 25 UoMs, mainly due to fluvial types (809 = 65%) and seawater (378 = 30%), and much less due to pluvial events (21) or mixed causes (40). Other flood sources are referred to in a few cases (16 for all historical floods, 2 for APSFRs) but are not specified in the documents analysed. In historical fluvial floods, the following causes have been identified: blockage/restriction, defence, natural and defence or infrastructure failure. The following characteristics have been identified: flash flood, medium onset flood, deep flood, high velocity flow, debris flow etc. Table 3 Time period covered by different types of historic flood events Source: WISE Flood aggregation report: FD 2.0 Time period covered by historic flood events Source Total flood events Range of years 2000 onwards 1950 to to s Before 1800 Fluvial Pluvial Groundwater Sea water Artificial waterbearing infrastructure No data of 17

Note: One of the following options was selected to answer the question for each row Yes, Information has been reported on this aspect No, it is explicitly stated that this Article has not been applied Not clear, no information reported on these elements Has Article 4 been applied? Yes, information has been reported on this aspect All aspects of Art.4 have been considered in the PFRAs, based on a vast analysis of different information including records, reports, studies, (emergency) plans, press clippings, interviews and surveys. 010 reports specifically on the adverse consequences for the environment. Flood risks impacts not evaluated for those habitats where flooding is considered an ecological process. Question 2b: What aspects required by Article 4 were not considered when producing an assessment of the risk of flooding under Article 13.1(a)? Note: One of the following options was selected to answer the question for each row Yes, Information has been reported on this aspect No, it is explicitly stated that this Article has not been applied Not clear, no information reported on these elements Has Article 13.1(a) been applied?

Note: One of the following options was selected to answer the question for each row Yes, Information has been reported on this aspect No, it is explicitly stated that this Article has not been applied Not clear, no information reported on these elements Has Article 13.1(b) been applied? No, it is explicitly stated that this Article has not been applied 7 of 17
8 Article 13.1(b) has not been applied to any of the UoMs. Question 4: What are the types of floods considered/not considered within the auspices of the Floods Directive? All types of floods have been included in the assessment. Flooding from sewerage systems has been considered in the historical and potential analysis. Spain has reported 1248 APSFRs for 25 UoMs, mainly due to fluvial types (809 = 65%) and seawater (378 = 30%), and much less due to pluvial events (21) or mixed causes (40). Other flood sources are referred to in a few cases (16 for all historical floods, 2 for APSFRs), but are not specified in the WISE documents analysed. The following restriction has been applied and identified in the assessment: Seawater floods in estuaries have only been considered for a length in the estuary equivalent to ten times the width of the estuary (017). Question 5: What were the criteria used to define the historical significant floods and what were the reasons for not including some types of flood that occurred in the past? According to the reported data, 6441 historical flood events have been identified and 6165 (95.7%) of them has reported significant consequences. The majority of UoMs has used statistical analysis based on different criteria allocating values to the different effects (e.g. referring to the methodology included in the Spanish guidance document and previous studies/methodologies such as CTEI 1980). Question 6: What methods and criteria were used to identify potentially significant future floods and what were the reasons for not including some types of potential future floods? Flood simulations have been realised for return flows at least of 10, 100 and 500 years periods (adequate to the Spanish legislation by Real Decreto 903/2010). Where no previous hydraulic studies were available, a simplified modelling has been developed to identify the areas under risk. A multi-criteria GIS valuation of future significant floods has been developed based on land-use data, potential consequences, Sistema de Información sobre Ocupación del Suelo en España (SIOSE)) and flood estimation. Different weights have been assigned to the GIS layers, and once summed up, a ranking exercise has been developed, identifying thresholds for the inclusion/non-inclusion of areas according to a balance between flood risk and 8 of 17
9 management capacity and covering a high percentage of the total potential adverse consequences (e.g. 85% (017, 070)). Question 7: What types of flood were considered but not assessed as being significant, and what were the reasons given? Spain has studied more than 6,000 historical flood events and potential future significant flood events, in different types of flood, and a ranking exercise has been developed identifying thresholds for the inclusion/non-inclusion of areas according to a balance between flood risk and management capacity and covering a high percentage of the total potential adverse consequences (e.g. 85% (017, 070)). Question 8: What types of flood were not considered at all, and why? None Question 9: What criteria were used to define an adverse consequence? Spain has reported 1248 APSFRs for 25 UoMs that have been caused mainly due to fluvial types (809 = 65%) and seawater (378 = 30%). Most areas are included due to their significant effects on the economy (1156 = 93%) and human health (886= 71%), and less for effects on cultural heritage (469 = 38%) and the environment (449 = 36%). Values and weightings were allocated to the different effects (referring to the methodology included in the Spanish guidance document, and previous studies/methodologies such as CTEI 1980), and they were summed up. Information reported for 4 UoMs (010, 020, 030, 050) indicates that the adverse consequence of historic floods were weighted according to the following criteria: Fatalities (100) Injured (50) Housing (50) Agricultural and livestock industry (40) Industry (40) Evacuees (25) Transport Infrastructure (25) Electricity supply (15) Irrigation and Drainage Network (15) and Cropland (10). Although equivalent information was not reported to WISE by the other UoMs, it is expected that if national guidelines were followed that similar weightings would have been used. 9 of 17
10 In order to rank the consequences of historical floods, values have been assigned to the different adverse effects, summed up and assigned to municipalities. The used values rank from low (agriculture, electricity network, irrigation networks) to high (mortal victims) ( Guidance document, 030, 050). Question 10: What adverse consequences were excluded or not considered, and what were the reasons for their exclusion? All categories for adverse consequences have been applied in. In 017, data on adverse consequences of historical floods are scarce, and therefore the estimation has been based on future events. Question 11: What methods were used to identify and quantify potential future adverse consequences and impacts? The method is based on an assessment of the potentially flooded areas and the consequences and impacts (see above). Flood risk areas were modelled and their overlap with land-uses (including services, transport infrastructure, environment, cultural heritage) and different consequence/impact values was calculated for 1km river stretches in some UoMs. An assessment was done to evaluate whether significant land-use changes have happened in comparison to historical flood events; and if the development of infrastructural measures (e.g. post-1997, in 110) has changed significantly the flood risk in comparison. Question 12: What long term developments were considered, what methods were used and what were the expected impacts on the occurrence of potentially significant future floods? Regarding the consideration of long-term development, reports that impact of climate change according to IPCC documents is unclear, in particular regarding a quantification of changes. Therefore climate change is not considered in the statistical valuation of flood flows. Climate change might induce an upward trend in the frequency of flood events, but not with regards to their magnitude, and thus the current PFRA should be valid in future. Only 014 reports on the effect of climate change on sea-level rise. Current studies maintain uncertainties and specific regional studies will be carried out by the RBA. 10 of 17
11 014 reports on an observed long-term trend of increased value of land-uses in flood-risk areas. 100 reports on large-scale land-use changes that have already been considered in the PFRA, such as linear transport infrastructure, the Barcelona port and airport infrastructures. 11 of 17

17 International coordination MS were required to report how international cooperation had been achieved when undertaking a PFRA under Article 4; and also for APSFR under Article 5. Those applying Article 13.1.a are expected to have coordinated cooperation in the identification of APSFR but not necessarily for the PFRA. The relevant articles are: Article In the case of international river basin districts, or units of management referred to in Article 3(2)(b) which are shared with other Member States, Member States shall ensure that exchange of relevant information takes place between the competent authorities concerned. And; Article 5.2.
