Abstract
This work presents the developed Network for irrigation return flows (IRFs) water quality control of Riegos del
Alto Aragón Scheme, Spain. Water flows are measured and water sample are collected and analyzed for salinity,
nutrients and pesticides. Results illustrating the state of the water quality of IRFs are presented. The collected
database since 2005 is important for guiding present and future research on non-point pollution induced by
intensive irrigation and establishing corrective measures. The results will be disseminated among farmers
advancing the fertilization, irrigation, and manure management strategies that are considered more adequate to
reduce the environmental effect of irrigation.
