Abstract

La presente Ley tiene como objeto la regulación del dominio público hidráulico, del uso del agua y del ejercicio de las competencias atribuidas al Estado en las materias relacionadas con dicho dominio en el marco de las competencias delimitadas en el Artículo 149 de la Constitución. Es también objeto de esta Ley el establecimiento de las normas básicas de protección de las aguas continentales, costeras y de transición, sin perjuicio de su calificación jurídica y de la legislación específica que les sea de aplicación. Las aguas continentales superficiales, así como las subterráneas renovables, integradas todas ellas en el ciclo hidrológico, constituyen un recurso unitario, subordinado al interés general, que forma parte del dominio público estatal como dominio público hidráulico. Corresponde al Estado, en todo caso, y en los términos que se establecen en esta Ley, la planificación hidrológica a la que deberá someterse toda actuación sobre el dominio público hidráulico. Las aguas minerales y termales se regularán por su legislación específica.
