The national urban information system (SIU) maps the land class for 100% of the municipality.

Only the town hall can confirm it, in writing: ask for a certificado urbanístico.

Is there water?

IGME records 14 wells and boreholes in Fuentes de Ebro. Half of the 13 with a depth found water at 6–13 m. 2 springs are recorded.

Ground: 63% practically impermeable; 25% porous aquifer, high productivity; 13% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
