Alarcón Dam
The Alarcón Dam (Spanish language, Spanish: ''Presa de Alarcón'', ''Pantano de Alarcón'', or ''Embalse de Alarcón'') is a gravity dam on the upper course of the Júcar River. It is located from Alarcón, in the Provinces of Spain, province of Province of Cuenca, Cuenca, in the Autonomous communities in Spain, autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. The reservoir formed by the dam has a water capacity of and spans a surface area of 6,840 hectares (26 square miles). All together, its drainage basin measures 3,033 km2 (1,171 mi2). The dam houses a hydroelectric power plant with an Nameplate capacity, installed power capacity of 56 MW. The Tagus-Segura Water Transfer, which links two other major rivers, joins the reservoir briefly on its journey south, entering at the northern tail end and mixing its waters with the Júcar. Construction of the dam began in 1941 through the efforts of Valencian farmers who wanted to stabilize the flow of the river, as irrigation in th ...

Head Of The Reservoir
In hydrology, the head is the point on a watercourse up to which it has been artificially broadened and/or raised by an impoundment. Above the head of the reservoir natural conditions prevail; below it the water level above the riverbed has been raised by the impoundment and its flow rate reduced, unless and until banks, barrages, weir sluices or dams are overcome (overtopped), whereby a less frictional than natural course will exist (mid-level and surface rather than bed and bank currents) resulting in flash flooding below. In principle, a distinction must be drawn between the head of a reservoir impounded by a dam, and the head of a works resulting from a barrage or canal locks. Head of a reservoir A head's location varies with the height of the water level against the dam. Since there is only an extremely low flow within the reservoir so no water level gradient, the head can be clearly seen: where the farthest watercourse discharges into the reservoir. Upstream of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tagus-Segura Water Transfer
The Tagus-Segura Water Transfer (Spanish language, Spanish: ''Trasvase Tajo-Segura'') is one of the largest works of hydraulic engineering ever produced in Spain. Water from the Tagus River is channeled through this Interbasin transfer, transfer system from the reservoirs of Entrepeñas Reservoir, Entrepeñas (Province of Guadalajara) and Buendía (Province of Cuenca) into the Talave Reservoir on the Mundo River, a tributary of the Segura River. History Although it was mentioned as early as 1902, the origin of the transfer system dates back to 1932, when the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (Spain), Minister of Public Works Indalecio Prieto entrusted engineer with the formulation of a plan for the Water resource management, management of national water resources. A year later, he presented the ''Plan Nacional de Obras Hidráulicas'' (National Plan of Hydraulic Works), which included the Tagus-Segura Water Transfer; however, for various reasons, the plan was never realize ...

Municipal District
A municipal district is an administrative entity comprising a clearly-defined territory and its population. It can refer to a city, a town, a village, a small grouping of them, or a rural area. Brazil In Brazil, municipal districts are, in general, subdivisions of a municipality and do not enjoy political autonomy in Brazil. Municipal districts seats are generally located in villages within the geographic area of a municipality, but sometimes can refer to neighbourhoods adjacent to the city that hosts the municipal seat. In big cities such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro districts can host a sub-prefecture (or sub-city hall). Municipal districts in Brazil succeed the old Portuguese parishes from the Brazilian colonial administration. During the 'New State' ( Estado Novo), president Getúlio Vargas, published the Decree-law no. 311, of 2 March 1938, which in its article 3, defined that municipalities' seats would have the status of cities and municipal districts would be named upo ...

Gascas De Alarcón
Gascas de Alarcón is the site of a former town in the province of Cuenca, Spain. It was flooded by the Alarcón Reservoir, which underwent construction from 1946 to 1970 through the initiative of Valencian farmers who wanted to regulate the flow of the Júcar River. The remains of the town are visible when the water level drops. One can see traces of the streets and walls, as well as a stone wall with an arch, part of a private residence. The Gascas, a tributary stream of the Júcar, had its source near the town but is now also submerged in the reservoir. Gascas was a riverside town and one of the few in the province with irrigated farmland. As its economy relied on this resource, the use of water from the Gascas and Júcar for irrigation was strictly rationed for each plot of land. The produce, fruits and vegetables, was sold in other communities across the province. History Gascas was built on the left bank of the Júcar and apparently owes its name to its founders, Gascons ...
