| Sumario: | [EN] Local government concerning watering in the Vinalopó river irrigated areas in the Modern Age. The Valencian water regime established a scale of feudal property rights: the division of the water domain. There was a transfer of use to residents and of management to municipalities. Thus, irrigated areas are the most valued and exploited lands. In the Vinalopó valley the municipal model prevailed during the early modern period, there is an identification between water governance and local administration. Water governance depended on local councils and their officers and not just irrigators. The management and administration of the hydraulic space is a task of the community. Irrigators should be identified with neighbors. Town councils are irrigation institutions. Popular participation in the management of local resources is one of the objectives of rural communities. Also a process of differentiation between neighbor and irrigator where land dispossession is accelerated during the early modern period is observed. This social polarization of agrarian class structure influences the pattern of water governance, emerging water homeowners associations that control hydraulic structures, business processes and management councils |
