Abstract

The persistent application of a supply-side management model has led Spain to a critical situation, placing irrigation at the center of national political debates. This chapter describes how, to overcome this hydro-political crisis, the administration and the farmers' associations have supported three non-conflicting strategies: introducing water markets to give flexibility to the allocation of water for irrigation, stimulating treated wastewater reuse, and modernizing irrigation systems, particularly through the massive transformation of gravity schemes into drip irrigation. This chapter analyzes these strategies and also provides a critical view on groundwater development for irrigation. Finally, agricultural and environmental policy debates and the expected impact of climate change on the irrigation sector are considered.
