Water scarcity and irrigated agriculture in Andalusia: the need for a just water transition

In the context of increasing water scarcity in Spain due to high water demands and the reduction of water resources because of climate change, this work presents an operational proposal for a just water transition in agriculture by means of a water reallocation, based on social and environmental cri...
