Abstract:
Second part of 'Enciclopedia del Regadío Histórico Valenciano'. The first part analysed the characteristics of hydraulic infrastructure and operative mechanisms to distribute the caudal. This part (also within the Valencian territory from the 13th to the 19th century) focuses on the organisatin formulae for the daily functioning. To that end, the same methods from the first part are followed: theme entries in alphabetical order.
Almost every entry has an argumented espose of the concept along with a series of texts. The expositive part offers a synthesis about the topic combining empiric data and theoretical debates. Each aspect's interpretation holds the proper references in their bibliography.
The texts serve multiple purposes. They uphold and credit the exposed ideas in the synthesis and (due to the heterogeneity of Valencian irrigation bound to a continuous dynamic evolution) try to provide chronological and geographical details for the reader without overloading the expositive part. They also contain a more precise and deep information on the analysis.
