Los regadíos tradicionales del eje del río Turia. Inventario de los sistemas de riego y de los elementos catalogados del patrimonio hidráulico

Resum

The Turia river starts at the town of Teruel, after the confluence of the rivers Alfambra and Guadalaviar. It supplies a large territory in the provinces of Teruel, Cuenca and Valencia. On its way to its mouth at the Mediterranean Sea, in Valencia, the river creates a set of meadows irrigated by a number of channels that collect water from the river. These irrigation systems are complemented by other hydraulic components (primers, aqueducts, siphons ...), which are considered cultural heritage. This study provides an overview of the work carried out since 1998, the research group ESTEPA (Studies Planning, Landscape and Heritage). The goal of communication is to present the inventory of traditional irrigation systems and water heritage elements of the Turia river; and to make a characterization (morphological and functional analysis by hydraulic area) and typological classification.
