Descripción
Sumario:[EN] This article focuses on the Galician traditional irrigation, emerged due to the need for water for meadows and lands in summertime. Specially, on the system of the so-called pozas and presas, structures arising from the need of accumulating water to make a more effective use of it. These structures, of which we know already from medieval times, have survived up to nowadays. However, its traditional morphology has undergone, especially from the mid-twentieth century, due to the Galician late industrialization, some changes that have not had the necessary respect as they are also, as well as functional goods, part of our historic and social legacy. This will be one of the aspects about which we will focus on especially on this article. Finally, we also approach on the different forms of regulation of the use of these traditional structures, which mostly have a communal dimension.
