Presa de Rules

Ahhhhhhh Sunday. Don Duende seems less that estupendo this morning. I wonder why? Answers on a postcard please. I can only assume he had a good birthday. I did suggest that he went a had a swim to clear his head but he concluded it would require too much energy. I agreed that expending energy was not good and retired to the terrace for a siesta.

Factoid: The Rules Dam on the River Guadalfeo, to the south of the Sierra Nevada, will create a 117 Hm3 capacity reservoir which, in conjunction with the Béznar reservoir, will regulate 85% of the basin's runoff to meet the water supply demands of the Granada coast which has a summer population of over 250.000 people. The dam will guarantee the irrigation of subtropical and hothouse crops throughout the coastal area and will provide defence against freshets in the delta of the river and in the port area of Motril. The 130 m high arch gravity dam has a 620 m long topping and works include the construction of check dams in various channels within the basin and other auxiliary works.
