The Spring-Fed Irrigation System of Carrizal, Peru: A Case Study of the Hypothesis of Agrarian Collapse

Abstract

Abandoned farm land is a prominent feature on the Andean landscape. At the spring-fed canal system of Carrizal, on the desert coast of Peru, prehispanic, colonial, and recent abandonment conforms to two land-loss patterns. These are associated with change in natural hydrological conditions that should similarly affect other forms of irrigation agriculture elsewhere in the Cordillera.
