The regional government of Castilla-La Mancha has initiated several measures to address water infrastructure and resource management. Initial actions included a 5.3 million euro investment to modernize the El Girasol water treatment plant in Illana to increase capacity by 50%, alongside local investments in Brihuega for water filtration systems.

Following these infrastructure developments, the Cortes of Castilla-La Mancha approved a resolution focused on the protection and planning of water resources. The resolution, which passed with 17 votes in favor and 15 against, advocates for hydrological planning that prioritizes sustainability, territorial balance, and the maintenance of ecological flows to ensure water quantity and quality for current and future needs.
