Abstract

The use of water in the Ley de 13 de junio de 1879 is the main issue to understand the socio-economic development of Spain in the late nineteenth century, focused on a change into the agrarian economy. This paper takes as its starting point the Real Decreto de 29 de abril de 1860, where the legislator proposed a change in agricultural policy of the country, settled in the traditional system of dry farming, for irrigated agriculture. There were two legal texts that contributed to this development: the Ley de Aguas de 3 de agosto de 1866 y de 13 de junio de 1879. Both of them are the legal sources for the theoretical study as a basis for the development of this paper.
