Abstract: This paper maps the interaction between irrigation multi-functionality and decision-making processes in order to improve governance in Southern European hydro-social systems. Two approaches, the stakeholder analysis approach and the governance model approach, are applied in accordance with the territorial dimension of geographical analysis in order to evaluate the conflicting points of view between stakeholder profiles. The obtained results can be used by the relevant authorities to customize their interventions, allowing them to know beforehand which are the different stakeholder priorities and in this way establishing more effective avenues of communication.
