Short summary
In this study case, water scarcity resulted from increasing water demand on the irrigation system, since groundwater became saline, and farmers were not able to adapt the cropping system in the case of perennial citrus orchards. A learning approach was developed to change the perception of local actors of the current situation of water scarcity and to reflect on the construction of collective actions for the improvement of the quality of irrigation service.
