Abstract
This chapter presents the process of development of drought management plans in Spain. The Law of the National Hydrologic Plan,in 2001, included the obligation for all Basin Authorities to develop Special Drought Management Plans. The process was finished in 2007, with the approval of the Plans for Basin Authorities depending on the central government. The methodology applied for the technical analyses carried out is presented, together with a description of the drought management actions included in the Plans.
