The implemented GIS-tool based on open source gvSIG software was able to assess water leaching requirements in order to prevent the salinization risk of soils in olive orchards in the province of Jaen. Where LF was so high to be feasible, the GIS-based tool can recommend different mixing ratios for surface and underground water in order to decrease recommended LF thus making irrigation sustainable. The model was able to facilitate data analysis and processing, allowing the visualization of the spatial distribution and offering all the functionality of handling geographic data, which will be used in the planning and decision making. The proposed GIS-based tool is also able to provide fast map recalculation after an update of database, thus allowing one to adapt decisions to fast changes in water properties.
