Reservoir of Beniarrés

Nature · Beniarrés, El Comtat, Alicante

The Beniarrés reservoir, between the municipalities of Beniarrés and Planes —where most of its water surface lies—, was built in 1958 on the Serpis river: it has a 53-metre-high gravity dam, a gated spillway with a capacity of 1,000 cubic metres per second, 268 hectares of surface area and a maximum capacity of 30 cubic hectometres. It belongs to the Júcar River Basin Authority and its waters irrigate the orchards of the Safor. Fishing for carp and black bass is allowed, as is boating.
