Abstract


River Tagus provides with an important hydraulic richness. Muslims learnt how to take advantage of this fact building small separate private owned industrial works. After the Christian conquest, Castillians found many water mills and other hydraulic devices. Given the new owners' lack of knowledge to maintain them these water mills slowly deteriorated and were eventually abandoned. In addition, Cristian conquerors introduced extensive cereal growing techniques, large estates and the feudal system.
