This paper analyses the agricultural irrigation water use in a closed basin and the impactson water productivity, and examines how they have affected the ‘closure’ process of theGuadalquivir river basin observed in recent decades. Following a period of expansion in irrigation,an administrative moratorium was declared on new irrigated areas in 2005. Since then, the mainpolicy measure has been aimed at the modernisation of irrigated agriculture and theimplementation of water conservation technologies. The analysis carried out in this paper shows asignificant increase in mean irrigation water productivity in the pre‐moratorium period (1989–2005),driven by the creation of new irrigated areas devoted to high value crops and with a dominant useof deficit irrigation strategies, while a second phase (2005–2012) is characterised by slower growthin terms of the mean productivity of irrigation water, primarily as a result of a significant reductionin water use per area. Findings show that productivity gains seem to have reached a ceiling in thisriver basin, since technological innovations (such as new crops, deficit irrigation, and water‐savingand conservation technologies) have reached the limits of their capacity to create new valu
