Abstract

Spain, whose economic takeoff was long delayed by water shortages, has become the vegetable and fruit garden of Europe and the favorite destination of millions of tourists from northern countries, thanks to its generous sunshine. This article analyses the tools implemented to overcome this handicap which seemed insuperable: the construction of numerous dams, inter-river basin transfers, massive desalination of sea water, mainly. However, given the evolution of the climate, the pressure of economic actors and the demands of ecology, this model remains fragile.
