About This Item
Magnificent Work of Engineering to Improve the Irrigation System in Spain * Remarkable Illustrations
Folio; [42] leaves of plates (40 folded) maps, plans, portrait. (King and Queen of Spain); contemporary Spanish calf.
FIRST EDITION. This Aragonese "pharaonic work" was developed in the last third of the 18th century between Fontellas, near Tudela (Navarra, Spain), and Zaragoza. This new system improved the way of watering that until then gave its predecessor, the old "Imperial Acequiade Aragon"; this system brought the water from the Ebro to Zaragoza, which made it possible to considerably extend irrigation in the city, and established a passenger and freight transport service between Tudela and Zaragoza. It was projected as far as Sástago, in order to irrigate a wide area between Zaragoza and this town and, above all, to have a channel that would allow navigating the Ebro along its entire length, avoiding the difficult middle course, but this utopian plan never became reality.
