Abstract: This paper examines irrigation water management in the Genil-Cabra Irrigation District of the Province of Cordoba (southern Spain) using three irrigation indicators: relative irrigation supply (RIS), relative water supply (RWS), and relative rainfall supply (RRS). The three indicators are calculated both globally and by grouping the data according to crop type, irrigation method, soil texture, and plot size. Then, it is possible to determine the influence that each individual factor has on irrigation management and take subsequent measures to improve irrigation performance. All of the information regarding agronomic and hydraulic variables has been included in a geographical information system (GIS) to facilitate data management.
