      abstract = {The aim of the paper is to provide an econometric,  dynamic, multi-product and partial
equilibrium model for  the Spanish agriculture able to analyse the effects of the  SFP and subsequent
reforms in both the irrigated and  non-irrigated cultivation. In the case of the EU  Mediterranean
countries, irrigated agriculture is very  relevant because farmers in irrigated land get  higher
productivity and returns. However, irrigation is  also the source of a number of environmental
concerns, such  as over-abstraction of water from subterranean aquifers,  irrigation driven erosion, soil
salinisation, etc.. The new  decoupling direct payments from production will reduce many  of the
incentives to intensive production. The developed  model is called Spanish Econometric Simulation  of
Agricultural Policies (SESAP) and it is estimated using  Eurotat data from 1983 to 2004 and solved
using the GAMS  software for the period 2005 to 2020. Simulation results  indicate that irrigated area
harvested for arable crops,  less environmental friendly, is expected to decrease more  than non-irrigated.},
