| Zusammenfassung |
| A limno-reservoir is a hydrologic infrastructure with the main goal of generating a body of
water with a constant level in the riverine zone of a reservoir, building a dam that makes de
limno-reservoir independent from the main body of water. This dam can be built in the main
river supplying the reservoir or any tributary as well flowing into it. Despite its
novel conception and design, around a dozen are already operative in some Spanish
reservoirs.
This infrastructure allows the new water body to be independent of the main reservoir
management, so the water level stability is its main distinctive characteristic. It leads to the
development of environmental, sports and cultural initiatives; which may be included in a
touristic exploitation in a wide sense.
An opinion poll was designed in 2009 to be carried out the Pareja Limno-reservoir
(Entrepeñas reservoir area, Tajo River Basin, central Spain). The results showed that for both,
Pareja inhabitants and occasional visitors, the limno-reservoir has become an important
touristic resource, mainly demanded during summer season. The performance of leisure
activities (especially swimming) are being the main brand of this novel hydraulic and
environmental infrastructure, playing a role as corrective and/or compensatory action which
is needed to apply in order to mitigate the environmental impacts of the large hydraulic
constructions. |
