| 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. |
