| Summary: | If the hydraulic techniques of Muslim period began to be known through the Arabic texts and recent archaeological researches, it is not always easy to replace it, through their actual situation, in the country where they are developed. The divisions into parcels often disappeared, crushed in Christian times under the distributions of lands made to settlers after the feudal conquest : we know, in Valencia, the avatars of the jovada, whose value varies, according to moments, by royal decision... In Murcia, the huerta itself was entirely regrouped, in diverse occasions : the first ones of which are datable of the xiiith century, then of the hydraulic boom of xvth-xvith centuries, and arrangements of the xviiith and xixth centuries ; on the other hand, more upstream, Segura Valley conceals indications of structuring’s modes of the irrigated spaces prior to the mid-xiiith century, which show interesting parallels with those of the Maghreb al-Aqsā. |
