Integrated water resources management of the Hydrogeological Unit “Eastern Mancha” using Bayesian Belief Networks

The results offered by the tool show that the current situation is non-sustainable concerning the aquifer exploitation. There are several ways to solve this situation. The first one could be decreasing the current volume of ground water for irrigation, but this solution would not be welcome by the farmers due to losses of income. The second one is replacing groundwater for irrigation by surface water, where the main problem would be the considerable expenses in infrastructures.
