| Sumario: | [EN] The conquest of Lleida in 1149 caused the destruction on the andalusian society and the construction of a new feudal society. In this process of colonization of the territory should be emphasized the construction of hydraulic systems formed by large channels taking water from the Segre river. One among these channels is the Torres de Segre's one, which, taking water from the river at the height of the city, supplies water to an extension of 1200 ha. in the left bank of the Segre. The research presented here applies the hydraulic archaeology methodology to define with maximum possible accuracy the expansion of the irrigated area from original design and changes on the channel's path along centuries of use. Written documentation has also allowed to follow the evolution of feudal rights on the water and castral organization of the territory. It is intended to expose part of the process of colonization of Lleida territory in the context of the expansion of the Crown of Aragon. |
