Abstract
Iberian mining basins have a long history of water pollution problems. This paper analyzes the most serious mining pollution cases in Spain and Portugal in the period spanning from the second half of 19th century to the 1960s. The first part centers on the technological consequences of these problems, with a particular stress on the role and strategies of mining companies. The second part is an analysis of the institutional framework in Portugal and Spain, which emphasizes the early character of the legal solutions implemented as well as their originality and diversity. Finally, the complex relations between technological innovation, institutional framework and water pollution are discussed.
