The dam will be built in the upper part of the rambla at a point between the electrical substation and the highest area of ​​Camposol.
This infrastructure, whose economic status already appears in the general state budget, will fulfill two objectives: to prevent floods in the population of Mazarrón, especially Bolnuevo and Playa Grande, and to provide a quantity of water added to irrigators of the municipality, since The volume stored in the dam will be managed by the Segura Hydrographic Confederation to be used by farmers in Mazarrón.
Adjustable volume of 25 hm3
The future dam, in whose site Acuamed already works, will allow to derive volumes of floods in the Guadalentín river towards the ravine of Las Moreras in Mazarrón.
