Abstract

El regadío ha sido una técnica de desarrollo rural ampliamente extendida en los climas mediterráneos determinando sus paisajes. Es el principal usuario del agua en España, su consumo supone 2/3 del total. Con más de 3,5 millones de hectáreas representa cerca del 15% de la superficie agrícola útil. La principal asociación de tipos de paisajes bajo riego son vegas y riberas, seguida de llanos litorales peninsulares e interiores, campiñas y cuencas, hoyas y depresiones. Presentamos las principales infraestructuras de ingeniería, con obras de captación, trasporte, almacenamiento, distribución, aplicación a las tierras bajo riego y drenaje. Revisamos su consideración en la evaluación de impacto ambiental. Y proponemos diversos descriptores sobre su consideración en el paisaje.
