Three great forms of agricultural hydraulic exist : Official(State), communal and private. The Official way nature is dictatorial or despotic. It is based on the ideas of Wittfogel, the reference author ; the "Communal" way,
gives a status to the members of the community under the form of rights and functions on the basis of water division rules defined in a more or less far past ; the third way is the "Industrial and private", which rejects the notion of individual or collective water rights in the zones of its activities.
