The rain in Spain… ???

Almeria
+ The role of temperature…???

Obviously an issue, in terms of water supplies – but actually best possible seasonal distribution…

(production subsidies – EU paid for each tonne produced…)
…that was 10 years ago, no longer the case – paid per acre and for environmental initiatives [but still struggle to compete with NICs]

Managing hot desert environments and their margins – to consider and evaluate the strategies adopted with regard to land use and agriculture in areas such as the Sahel and contrast with the development of areas such as south-western USA or southern Spain. Implications and potential for sustainability.

In exam would also need… Intro and Conclusion
5 GROUPS – MINI-PARAGRAPH EACH…
![Page 38: Arid Spain uses and management KC AQA AS level Geography](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061301/548f78fdb4795957308b496c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
1. [2 mins] Everyone has terms and/or specifics – think about what it means, and where it fits in – ask if unsure
2. [7-8 mins] a. In your group, discuss your terms / specifics – and create a paragraph using them [NB feel free to add your own]b. Choose someone with neat / clear handwriting to write this paragraph up in the space on the picture sheets
3. Spokesperson to give feedback to the group (will be photocopied and given out later anyway)
INSTRUCTIONS:
![Page 39: Arid Spain uses and management KC AQA AS level Geography](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061301/548f78fdb4795957308b496c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• In your groups, discuss the pros and cons on your list
• Spokesperson feed-back one ‘pro’ and one ‘con’– ideally with at least one TERM and/or SPECIFIC
• What have you learned today?
OR IF TIME IS SHORT…
![Page 40: Arid Spain uses and management KC AQA AS level Geography](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061301/548f78fdb4795957308b496c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Tourism [& evaluate]• Golf courses dishonestly classified as
agriculture so can access aquifer water
• Holiday villas still classified as farms for same reason (swimming pools etc.)
• Water parks, large-scale hotels (mass-tourism) with pools – e.g. Benidorm
• 1980s/90s – expat developments – pools & impermeable surfaces so less infiltration so aquifers not recharged
![Page 41: Arid Spain uses and management KC AQA AS level Geography](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061301/548f78fdb4795957308b496c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Agriculture - large-scale export-driven• Almeria & Andalusia – driest parts of
EU - but €1.5bn / yr from export• Irrigation salinisation of soils• Olive trees – over-cultivation due to
competition from Turkey, China, India etc. (NICs)
• 80 million tonnes topsoil lost / yr• Illegal boreholes• Europe’s largest producer of
strawberries (because can grow out of season) – 50,000 jobs, €400m / yr
![Page 42: Arid Spain uses and management KC AQA AS level Geography](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061301/548f78fdb4795957308b496c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Agriculture – moves towards sustainability…
• Small-scale permaculture (e.g. green manure [e.g clover] as cover crop to slow evapotranspiration and soil erosion and add nutrients as decompose)
• Drip irrigation
• Move towards sustainable, organic olive oil production [can charge a premium so also economically sustainable]
![Page 43: Arid Spain uses and management KC AQA AS level Geography](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061301/548f78fdb4795957308b496c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Water management [& evaluate]
• Over-abstraction (taking out more water from aquifers than is ‘recharged’ through rainfall percolating down – unsustainable) – made worse by climate change: +2.7°C since 1880 – twice global average increase, plus rainfall predicted to decrease by 50% by 2070
• Desalinisation plants (700 of them on South / East coast of Spain)
![Page 44: Arid Spain uses and management KC AQA AS level Geography](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061301/548f78fdb4795957308b496c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Energy production [& evaluate]• 2004-05 drought – HEP reduced –
losses of €150m• Solar previously highly subsidised
with generous feed-in tariffs – but recession has meant government has reduced these
• Need for water to keep panels clean• Renewable, no carbon emissions
(during production… construction and transport a different matter…)
