This work presents some results derived from a study on efficiency and productivity of the water in the coastal intensive horticulture of the Spanish South-eastern. After the characterization of this productive activity, 230 direct surveys to horticulture’s farmers and 50 interviews to agrarian technicians (made in campaign 2004/05) are analyzed, measuring the productivity and the levelling-prices and stopprice of water for the most characteristic productions. The paper finally analyzes the «willingness to pay» by the water revealed by the farmers, which shows a positive relation with the levels of technical efficiency at this productive system.
