TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the evolution of the Spanish irrigated sector and focus on water abstraction, water consumption, and energy use in the period 1950-2017, showing evidence of the basins reaching closure state and the impact on energy use from irrigation supply.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main focus has been directed to determine which different plant species are highly adapted and capable to produce significant amounts of triglycerides to be used in the biodiesel industry under arid conditions, but very few studies have addressed the technological changes that will be needed to convert triglycerides into biofuels without making a large consumption of scarce water, as it is demanded by current technology.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors contribute to the economic assessment of the benefits derived from the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) by proposing a practical definition of environmental benefits and a valuation scenario of the non-market benefits of water quality improvement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a methodology to compute a cost recovery ratio directly from the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Water (SEEA-Water) standard tables and applied it to the Guadalquivir River Basin in southern Spain.

TL;DR: The most frequent water value in the range 2.8 €/m 3 to 4.2€/m 2 as mentioned in this paper, with the most frequent value being 3.46 € /m 3, resulting in a value of water rent between 0.14 €/n 3 (r = 4%) to 0.35€/n 2.
