History1978Spain (Valencia)medium confidence

The Valencia water tribunal was enshrined in the Spanish Constitution of 1978.

Notes on verification

Confirmed via multiple independent Spanish legal/governmental sources; Article 125 does not name the Tribunal explicitly but recognizes 'customary and traditional tribunals,' a category legislative history and legal scholarship confirm was intended to include the Valencia Water Tribunal. The 'enshrined' framing is a reasonable simplification of a more nuanced legal reality.
