Résumé
Recently, some authors have paid close attention to irrigation management institutions, but technical maintenance management is very different from exercising control over users. In the irrigated region of Valencia, this role has historically been carried out by the “Sequier”, a position which is well known in rural areas and one which has been studied thoroughly at a local level, but not globally in the context of the whole country. In this paper we shall to establish its origins, its evolution in late medieval and modern times and the reasons why it began to disappear toward the seventeenth century.
