Based on a fully integrated and comprehensive case-study approach, Newater aims to address the analytical and the theoretical dimensions of IWR as well as its sitespecific policy-oriented practical implications. The Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM, Polytechnic University of Madrid) is involved in the WP 1.7 “methods for transition and adaptive capacity”. Its task is to develop an agro-economic model in order to analyze policy scenarios and cost-effectiveness of policy measures, and to define several scenarios on adaptive capacity of different policy options, linking agricultural and water policies and management options. In this context, we have developed a farm-based mathematical programming model of constrained optimization that simulates farmers’ behavior confronted to various agricultural and water policy scenarios. On this purpose, we have conducted an ample field work, consisting on surveys to irrigation communities, to regional and central government officials, to river basin authority representatives, to farmers’ unions, to environmental NGO’s and to private farmers. This report is one part of the UPM main report (D 1.7.5 b). It provides a summary of the field work carried out in the Upper Guadiana basin during the last year. The report includes 3 sections: section 1 shows the methodology developed, sections 2 and 3 present the characteristics of the farms and crops in the area as well as the representative farms in each of the irrigation communities. Annexes A, B and C include the questionnaires used for the surveys and Annex D shows pictures from the field work. 1 Methodology 2 Methodology Figure 1: Methodological scheme INTERVIEWS TO TECHNICAL EXPERTS Farm level data Agronomic Production techniques Management INTERVIEWS TO IRRIGATION COMMUNITIES INTERVIEWS TO FARMERS Farming operations Input use (Labor) Policy Constraints Economic Parameters Costs Water source and volume concession Investments -Operation & maintenance costs -Investment costs Irrigation technique & organizati on Financial Constraints MATHEMATICAL PROGRAMMING MODEL SCENARIOS SIMULATION STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS Hydrology Data INTERVIEW TO THE GUADIANA BASIN AUTHORITY Environmental Indicators Wetlands perception INTERVIEW TO THE REGIONAL DEPTARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT & EnvNGOs Subsidies, Prices INTERVIEW TO THE REGIONAL DEPTARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The field work consists on surveys to the different stakeholder groups involved: technical experts, farmers, irrigation communities, Guadiana Basin Authority, the Regional Department of Environment, environmental NGOs, and the Regional Department of Agriculture. The object of this field work is to characterize all the stakeholder groups (interests and expectations, potential and deficiencies, etc), as well as to obtain the technical coefficients for the mathematical programming model that is going to be used for policy scenarios simulation. The field work and the stakeholder analysis carried out afterwards also contribute to the design of these policy scenarios. 2 Distribution of the irrigation communities under study 3 3.1 Distribution of the irrigation communities under study General distribution of land in Castilla La Mancha (CLM) vs Spain Table 1: Land distribution in CLM vs Spain Castilla La Mancha Spain % CLM/Spain 197.668 1.790.162 11,0 Total Area (TA) 6.869.606 42.180.950 16,3 Used Agricultural Area (UAA) 4.581.592 26.316.787 17,4 Total Cultivated Lands (ha) 3.763.479 16.920.360 22,2 818.113 9.396.427 8,7 92.535 890.094 10,4 2.864.902 12.399.723 23,1 31,0 13,9 223,0 14.439 274.077 5,3 34.975,2 288.843,0 12,1 2,4 1,1 218,2 Farms 22.711 565.018 4,0 Area (ha) 58.158 1.151.968 5,0 2,6 2,0 130,0 Farms 111.010 602.249 18,4 Area (ha) 312.971 2.273.589 13,8 2,8 3,8 73,7 81.452 342.096 23,8 526.727 1.035.347 50,9 6,5 3,0 216,7 Farms 396 40.155 1,0 Area (ha) 721 59.733 1,2 ha/Farm 1,8 1,5 120,0 Number of farms Permanent pasture (ha) Category of crops Annual species Farms Area (ha) ha/Farm Vegetables Farms Area (ha) ha/Farm Fruit trees ha/Farm Olive groves ha/Farm Vineyards Farms Area (ha) ha/Farm Others Source: Junta de Castilla la Mancha, 2004 3 Distribution of the irrigation communities under study Castilla La Mancha represents 11% of Spanish agricultural farms and 17,4% of the Used Agricultural Area. Herbaceous crops occupy the largest area of Castilla La Mancha, that is 2.864.902 ha, which represent 23,1% from the whole Spanish crop surface. Horticultural crops represent 5,3% of Spanish farms, and 12,1% of total surface, which indicates the large size of the farms. Fruit trees in this area represent only a 4% and a 5% of the total farms and surface of this crop in Spain. Vineyard farms in Castilla La Mancha represent 23,2%. Vineyard makes up the biggest percentage of crops in Castilla-La Mancha in relation to the rest of Spain, representing 23,8% of the vineyard farms in the country and 50,9% of the land dedicated to this crop. The following graph represents the land distribution in Castilla La Mancha over the total of farmland in this region.

Two or three representative farms for each water user association have been built from the statistical data itemised by size strata (INE-Instituto Nacional de Estadística). These farms are statistically representative of the area in terms of crop distribution, area, number of farms and percentage of irrigated land and they are the ones simulated in the mathematical programming model. The production system defined by the representative farms reproduces the current crop distribution in the different study areas. Crop distribution by farm size conveys the importance of particular strata. The analysis in the Castilla-La Mancha region shows that most farms have a small size, but most of the area on this community is represented by large surface farms. This means that there are many small farms which do not occupy much area and a few large farms which cover most part of the land.

Once the structural characteristics of the selected area are defined, representative farms will be obtained. These farms represent a significant percentage of the area in terms of crop distribution, surface, number of farms and irrigated areas. • Farm typology in the Alcázar de San Juan Irrigation Community In this irrigation community (IC) there are three representative farms. Each model belongs to one of the following categories of size: between 0 and 20 ha; between 50 and 200 ha, and bigger than 200ha. Percentage of land covered by representative farms is quite large (77,29%), as well as the percentage of farms (82,01%).
