Abstract
Purpose - to assess the conservation status of the irrigation infrastructure as a result of the transfer process to users of D.R. 011.
Methodology - statistical analysis of time series of investment variables in maintenance and conservation, irrigation quotas and water volumes available for irrigation in D.R. 011.
Results - investment in conservation and maintenance does not show an increasing trend in the period after the transfer process. Nonetheless, the irrigation quotas paid by users were increased and this has had a negative impact on the physical state of the irrigation works.
Limitations - there is insufficient information available to perform statistical analysis of each of the modules studied.
Findings - more than two decades after the transfer of the management of the irrigation works to the users of D.R. 011, the irrigation structures have a noticeable deterioration, particularly the Valle de Santiago and Cortázar modules where many of the minor network distribution canals are uncoated and in poor condition.
