The Rosarito reservoir, which appears on the map, dams the waters of the Tiétar River and is located in the Tagus River hydrographic basin, in the central area of the Iberian Peninsula, between the provinces of Ávila (Castilla y León) and Toledo (Castilla la Mancha). It was built between 1940 and 1958 for irrigation use, and has a capacity of 82 cubic hectometers. The dam is 123.35 m (404.69 ft) long and 37.5 m (123 ft) high. The reservoir constitutes an important wintering nucleus for the common crane.
