Having studied the benefits of flood irrigation it was really important to establish a strategy according to the types of crops that could be cultivated in the area of our intervention and study all the conditions that would make more suitable one type of crop from another. We studied different crops that are traditionally cultivated and are unique in this region of Spain, such as asparagus and red pepper and specified their water need, flood and drought resilience and soil and sun requirements. As we used flood irrigation as an irrigation technique, the difference in the levels was crucial, so as to irrigate by gravity following the contours. As can be seen in fig. 13, showing the final scenario of crops distribution, where all the previous stepps are being applied. L.Driva, Technical Essay
