Height Record: 118 m
The Rules Reservoir (also called the Rules Dam) is located on the Guadalfeo River, downstream from its confluence with the Ízbor River, in the municipalities of Vélez de Benaudalla and Órgiva, in Granada. It collects water from the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, the northern massif of the Sierra de Lújar and the deep ravines of the Sierra de la Contraviesa. It was inaugurated in 2004.
The Guadalfeo and its network of tributaries drain the territorial unit of La Alpujarra, located in the southeast of the province of Granada. The Guadalfeo River originates in the Sierra Nevada, in the Sierra de Los Bérchules, in the Loma de Las Albardas, and is formed by the union of the Chico River and the Grande River. Downstream, it is fed by several tributaries such as the Trevélez River, the Poqueira River, the Órgiva River, the Lanjarón River and the Torrente Stream. It flows through the vicinity of important towns such as Órgiva, Bérchules, Cádiar, Almegíjar, Torvizcón, etc.
