Acequias in Spain
Irrigation systems similar to the acequias have existed for at least 5000 years and have been used by many cultures. As working systems or as archeological remnants they can still be found today all over the world. The Moors brought this irrigation system to Spain in the 8th century. In this day and age, as we are increasingly conscious of the importance of (clean) water for everyone, the 'Acequias' project underscores the historic, cultural and ecological importance of the old water transport system.
