Abstract

Lis Valley Irrigation District located in the coastal center of Portugal is administered by a users' association which manages the operation and maintenance of the main pumping and water conveyance infrastructures to the plots. As part of a project supported by the agricultural European Innovation Partnership, a study carried out in collaboration with farmers and focusing on the performance of the collective supply network has identified priority courses of action for achieving water savings by reconciling rural development with environmental and economic sustainability.
