En el presente trabajo se describen y analizan las principales obras hidráulicas del sistema de riego tradicional de la comarca de la Vega Baja del Segura, concretamente, los azudes y los acueductos. Los azudes de toma, construidos en el cauce del río Segura, representan el inicio del sistema, desde donde parte una extensa y compleja red de acueductos constituida por acequias y azarbes, como elementos fundamentales, que distribuyen el agua para el regadío. En este estudio se ha llevado a cabo una amplia y profunda investigación documental, tomado datos de campo y captado imágenes in situ que, junto con los diagramas aportados, resultan imprescindibles para comprender la magnitud del sistema. Los resultados obtenidos han servido no sólo para catalogar y caracterizar los elementos que integran el sistema hidráulico del regadío tradicional de la Vega Baja del Segura, sino también para poner de manifiesto un ejemplo real de optimización de recursos hídricos en una zona del sureste peninsular español de escasa e irregular pluviometría. Asimismo, el estudio efectuado revela un sistema de riego sumamente eficiente desde un punto de vista cuantitativo y no tanto desde el cualitativo, debido a la presencia, entre otros contaminantes, de altas concentraciones de sales.

After the construction of the San Carlos bastion in Alicante in the final decade of the seventeenth century, and the great trench which the English built around the district of San Francisco during their years of dominance in the War of Succession, the waters of the San Blas gully caused serious damage to these fortifications of the city and to the trade buildings of the port. In 1772, the diversion canal was built. It was designed to divert the riverbed of the gully and send the waters directly to the sea. The project had been initially designed by the Engineer General, Jorge Próspero de Verboom in 1721. This unique work of engineering had some defects, principally in the breakwater which prevented the waters from flowing down the former river course. On several occasions, the water returned to its original riverbed due to the weakness of the breakwater, the narrowness of the channel’s bed and its lack of regularisation, causing serious damage to the bastion, the Babel-facing façade, the traders’ warehouses and other buildings. This study describes the project that the military engineer Leandro Badarán carried out in 1794 in order to technically improve this canal and examines his report on the state of the fortifications. Similar works built in Spain are also explained. It also analyses the repeated disputes between the war department and the port throughout these years over finding a technical solution to the problem.
