“…These systems are behind characteristic landscapes known as "irrigated peatlands", "assisted dryland", and "improved dryland", which are typical of south-eastern Spain (Gil Meseguer et al 2015;Hernández Hernández et al 2019). In the book of the Repartimiento, these crops are referred to as "alfait".…”

The Castillejo de Monteagudo, which has been well known since excavations began in 1924, is a palatial residence built on a promontory. However, the fact that it was part of an extensive agricultural estate, known as Ḥiṣn al-Faraj, which included dry-farming, orchards, gardens, woodland, hunting areas, and marshes, as well as important hydraulic infrastructures, has not been sufficiently emphasised to date. Archaeological research on the irrigated plain during 2018 and 2019 has brought to light part of the palatine area, which was organised around a large garden presided by a residential complex with a porticoed pavilion and a pool at the centre. All known buildings date to the reign of Emir Ibn Mardanīš (1147–1171), although the possibility that the estate was created earlier cannot be ruled out. It was destroyed twice by the Almohads (1165 and 1171) and reused by the Castilian King Alfonso X, perhaps after being restored by Ibn Hūd al-Mutawakkil (1228–1238).

“…The use of rainwater is a traditional technique based on collecting rainfall and was historically used in the Mediterranean and other semi-arid territories [1]. In traditional societies where agriculture formed the basis of the economy, land and water were highly important.…”

“…The objectives of this study are: (1) to confirm the change of rainfall stated by studies as a result of climate change given its impact on the availability of water resources; (2) to examine the incorporation of rainwater in the management of water demand in the city of Alicante (Southern Spain), taking into account its purpose and the volumes stored; and (3) to propose future action for harvesting and using rainwater in a scenario of adaptation to climate change. The starting hypothesis is that the use of rainwater in the area of study will intensify in the coming years as a result of climate change in an attempt to minimise the impact that this change will have on the increase of extreme events (droughts and floods).…”

The effects of climate change on rainfall in the Mediterranean region are manifested in an overall decreasing trend, and greater irregularity in annual volumes and the city of Alicante is no exception. In addition, there has also been a spread of the urbanised area, which has led to an increase in the flood risk in urban areas (due to a greater runoff and the occupation of flood hazard areas) and drought events due to an increase in the water demand. In light of these new scenarios, the Mediterranean cities should design adaptation systems based on rainwater harvesting within the framework of a circular economy. This study analyses the integration of rainwater in flood and water demand management in the city of Alicante (Southern Spain). In recent years, this city has developed infrastructures in order to use these resources. To do this, different databases have been analysed (rainfall and volume of water collected in the green infrastructure systems). The results reveal that stormwater has become highly important in urban water management in Alicante as the city is now using a resource that previously went to waste and created problems (flooding and pollution). By way of conclusion, it is worth mentioning that the incorporation of rainwater for urban use in Alicante has reduced the pressure on traditional resources in satisfying water demand and has also acted as a measure for adapting to climate change.
