For this purpose, the irrigated area in Arévalo-Madrigal County (Ávila, Spain) has been considered as case study.

Models built have allowed the estimation of different economic, social and environmental indicators that quantify policy impacts. Results show the sensibility of irrigated agriculture regarding both policies, circumstance that suggests that the
