“…Other scenarios include the expansion of olive groves in Andalusia and the associated erosion problems, and irrigated agriculture. This later case shows two variants: (a) herbaceous crops including non-food crops (alfalfa and corn) related to soil salinisation in the north of Spain [26] and irrigated land in La Mancha (central Spain), linked to the overexploitation of important regional aquifers [27]; and (b) the Mediterranean coastal strip of southeastern Spain, which includes the provinces of Alicante, Murcia, and Almeria. High-yielding horticultural crops (e.g., greenhouses) have thrived there (see Valera et al [28] for a review), causing the deterioration of numerous aquifers [29,30].…”

“…In the years 1940-1950, the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, in concert with the Ministry of Public Works, started the transformation into irrigation of broad areas of the CEB [2], whose aridity was the major constraint to agriculture. IRYDA was the agency responsible for designing, constructing and bringing into production the new irrigation schemes.…”

“…This study was one of the reports commissioned in the 20th century by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture for different Spanish regions. Castañeda et al [2] listed many of these studies, but due to the elimination of IRYDA, they are hard to find or have even been discarded. Their structure and quality can be uneven, but they provide unique documents for tracking the evolution of modern agriculture and for assessing the results of irrigation and other agricultural practices on yields and the environment by comparing the data with other years.…”
