Guadalest Reservoir, Reservoir in Guadalest, Alicante, Spain.
The Guadalest Reservoir spans 67.51 hectares with a concrete gravity dam standing 94 meters high and stretching 236 meters in length across the mountain valley.
Construction of the Guadalest Reservoir began in 1969 to address increasing water demands for agriculture and urban consumption in the Alicante province during Spain's economic development period.
Local communities depend on the reservoir for irrigation of traditional crops and domestic water supply, making it an essential infrastructure element in regional agricultural practices.
The reservoir currently holds approximately 3.35 cubic hectometers of water, representing about 23% of its total capacity of 13 million cubic meters for regional water management.
The reservoir features a spillway system capable of evacuating 400 cubic meters of water per second during heavy rainfall periods to prevent downstream flooding.
