TLDR
Anticipated water efficiencies resulting from higher water tariffs, increasing water reuse and water infrastructure improvements (including inter-basin transfers), in conjunction with increasing use of desalinated water, are expected to address the province of Almería's current water overdraft.About:

An improved water footprint methodology linking global consumption to local water resources: a case of Spanish tomatoes.
Ashok Chapagain,Stuart Orr +1 more
TL;DR: The existing methods for WF are extended to more localised levels for crops grown partly in open systems and partly in plastic-covered houses with multi-seasonal harvesting, such as the horticulture industry in Spain, to visualise the links of EU tomato consumption to precise production sites in Spain and open a debate to the usefulness of such findings.

It is getting hotter in here: determining and projecting the impacts of global environmental change on drylands
TL;DR: Some of the main expected impacts of global change in drylands are reviewed, the complexities and difficulties associated with the prediction of such impacts are highlighted, and the increased use of long-term experiments and multidisciplinary approaches are identified as priority areas for future dryland research.

The impact of water-pricing policy in Spain: an analysis of three irrigated areas
Julio Berbel,José A. Gómez-Limón +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied the linear programming model to three farms in three different irrigation units in Spain and found that water pricing as a single instrument for controlling water use is not a valid means of significantly reducing agricultural water consumption.

Identification of the origin of salinization in groundwater using minor ions (Lower Andarax, Southeast Spain).
TL;DR: Bromine analysis enabled the identification of the principal processes that determine the salinity of the water along the coastal zone: the presence of Quaternary marine sediments and present-day marine intrusion.
