| Resumo: | [EN] Historical significance and evolution of irrigation systems in the Lecrin Valley (south of Granada): four cases studies in Cozvíjar, Dúrcal, El Padul and Nigüelas. The Lecrin Valley is a natural and historical region in the province of Granada (Andalucia, south of Spain), located near the Alpujarra region, on the south-west slopes of the Sierra Nevada. The Lecrin Valley is characterised by its historical Mediterranean mountainareas irrigation systems. The purpose of this study was to inquire into the evolution of four of these irrigation systems in the villages of Cozvíjar, Dúrcal, El Padul and Nigüelas. Most of the historical documentation came from the period of time from the conquest of Granada (1491) to the expulsion of the moriscos (1571). Sources as the Books of Habices and the Books of Apeo and Repartimiento give information about the 16th-century landscapes, use of territory or the irrigation network, and even led to a partial reconstruction of Nasrid times. It is possible as well to search for more details about past landscape evolution consulting other sources as archaeological inquiries and through a field study approach supported by GIS based information. As a result, the hypothesis of a roman origin of some of these channels is proposed, with the function of supplying water to wash the alluvial deposits of gold mines. |
