There will be a large central exhibition at the Palace of Sástago (Zaragoza), from October 2026 to January 2027.from October 2026 to January 2027, with documents, images and pieces that narrate a century of hydraulic management in Spain.

The program is completed with a documentary, a book and a series of meetings with specialists, together with institutional events that will strengthen the Confederation’s link with society.

A platform to follow the centennial

The official website of the centenary will bring together the agenda, news and downloadable materials, and will reactivate the centennial blog as an open forum for reflection on water management and the future of the basin.
