		The river is tidal to Seville (80 km upstream), a major inland port and head of navigation for ocean-going vessels.
		Navigation in the Guadalquivir River up to the Port of Seville also leads to a serious environmental problem due to the erosion this causes to the riverbanks within the National Park and to the dredging carried out in order to deepen the navigation canal.
		In 1997, the Jaen area within the Guadalquivir river basin had a water deficit of 480 million m3, of which some 300 million m3 were used for irrigating olive groves.

		The province is bisected by the navigable river Guadalquivir (q.v.), which here receives the Genil and Guadaira on the left, and the Guadalimar on the right.
		West of the Guadalquivir the surface is broken by low mountain ranges forming part of the Sierra Morena; the eastern districts are comparatively flat and very fertile, except along the frontiers of Cadiz and Mlaga, where rise the Sierras of Gibalbin and Algodonales; and there are extensive marshes near the Guadalquivir estuary.

	Efficient Water Use in Basins - Optimization of Water Resources Management....
		The Lower Guadalquivir is the area best suited for this purpose, in view of the favorable hydrogeological conditions for storage, the availability of water from the Lower Guadalquivir Canal and the area’s high water demand.
		The first step is to define the basic parameters of the aquifer with sufficient accuracy to determine the volumes involved, the time and area of infiltration in accordance with the available flows, and in short, to obtain all the necessary data for a study of the project’s technical and economic feasibility.
		For the hydrogeographical Guadalquivir basin, in which there is an extraction volume of 3,034 hm3/year, through large-scale artificial recharge in areas where there is an excess of surface water and where an increase in extraction by traditional methods (reservoirs) is not feasible, the extracted volume could be increased to 100 hm3/year.
