I am a biologist preparing a phd on environmental and
socio-economical interactions respect on water uses. In particular, I am
trying to apply the system dynamic methodology to several water use cases in
Murcia (Spain), one of them being the evolution of the traditional irrigated
land and their environmental and socio-economical aspects.
I would like to receive some information about existing dynamic
system models on the evolution of traditional irrigated lands and the
environmental and/or socio-economical key factors of such evolution. My

In reply to your enquiry about system dynamic models concerning the
interaction between water use and socio-economic aspects I would sugest
that you consult Silvio Martinez (SILVIO.MARTINEZ@TELEFONICA.ES). He has
been involved in the
project named CADAGUA, where they studied the water usages in the Canary
Islands.The model did include demographic, economic, water and agricultural
submodels. You may see also: S. Martinez and al. in "Actas del Simposio
Nacional sobre Hidrologia", Pamplona 1978, pp. 205-259).
