Sumario:Large Iberian rivers are the major focus areas for waterbirds. Its importance is particularly strong in dry climate cycles, when the majority of semi-natural wetlands remain dry or have low water levels. The importance of these methods varies, however, regarding the characteristics of the river landscape, particularly with respect to water quality, hydraulic performance, natural hydrological regime and channel morphology. This paper discusses the basic features of aquatic bird communities of the river Ebro, Tajo and Jarama, three rivers located in the central part of two major Tertiary sedimentary basins, comparable to its natural potential but affected to varying degrees by different anthropogenic intervention. Is based on the results of waterbirds census conducted during an annual cycle over 64 km of channels
