Abstract


The agrarian lanscape in the areas of Cuenca has experienced lots of transformations over the last 10 years, because of the enlargement of the irrigated area. The pivots usually set ap (with 46 pivots you can water 2.000 ha.), in large stretches, have been the most important reason for all these changes, since it has introduced new methods and new crop techniques and therefore, a new shape and new colours for the landscape in La Mancha.
