Description

This map at a scale of 1:200,000, signed by the engineer Victoriano Muñoz in 1936, is part of the Hydraulic Plan of Catalonia. It is a key witness of the will to modernize the territory through the use of water resources. The document shows how, already in the 20th century, comprehensive water management was considered to improve the economic and social conditions of areas such as Segarra-Garrigues. It is an example of territorial planning as a tool for progress and of how Catalonia aligned itself with major European infrastructure projects.
