Reservoirs, lagoons and ponds


The southern province has numerous areas, either natural or artificial origin, where it is collected and stored water. these areas, most of them modified by man to water cattle, are important refuges for birds.

Many of the lakes and ponds that are located in the area were considered at one time, and even today, as unhealthy areas which could not be grown, so many of them were desiccated and disappeared.

Currently some endorheic gaps still remain in Barahona, Conquezuela the Medinaceli, they bring greenery and freshness to a steppe landscape and deforested.
