Abstract

The paper addresses how critical the supply of irrigation water is, due to the overexploitation of underground natural water reservoirs during the seventies and eighties. Different land use patterns are described, as well as the different amounts of water which they demand.

Besides, the article analyzes the economic indicators of the typical farm units in «La Mancha». After examining those indicators and the corresponding farm budgets within the Common Agricultural Policy framework, the paper advances lists of sustainahle, both profitable and environmentally respectful, crops.
