Abstract

In Valencia, during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, the water users´ associations and the Ayuntamiento de Valencia underwent through a fierce conflict. The revision of the legal concession of water diverted from the Turia River for urban uses brought a strong reaction from the agricultural users, which promoted an unprecedented social mobilization and provoked the major?s resignation. The conflict between huerta and city is an interesting indicator of the politicization of Valencian society in the first third of the twentieth century and also of the power of symbolic capital to boost social action. The present article describes and analyzes this conflict, which shows the strong pressure over water resources in the starting stages of river regulation processes in the Spanish Mediterranean basins.
