Bolarque Reservoir, Reservoir between Guadalajara and Cuenca provinces, Spain.
The Bolarque Reservoir spans across the Tagus River with a total surface area of 5.1 square kilometers and storage capacity of 30.7 million cubic meters.
The construction of the reservoir began in 1907 with 1300 workers, leading to its official inauguration by King Alfonso XIII in June 1910.
The reservoir forms part of an extensive water management network that connects different Spanish regions through the Tagus-Segura Water Transfer system.
Three hydroelectric power stations at the reservoir, Bolarque I, II, and III, generate electricity with a combined capacity of 240 megawatts.
The Bolarque II pumped-storage facility uses four reversible Francis turbine-generators to manage water distribution between different elevation levels.
