Abstract

The method involves forming a closed enclosure by the mouth of the river, which it delimiting to the reservoir and locking up in the interior of the water, which is spilling the river. The water of the sea, which is remained untapped is expelled by using the pumping, so that only fresh water stay there and the method providing a media to take minimum volume of the river.

Description

Procedimiento de construcción de un embalse, en la desembocadura de un río, en una zona ganada al mar, con objeto de captar y almacenar, para su posterior aprovechamiento, el caudal de agua que el río vierte diariamente al mar.Reservoir construction procedure, in the mouth of a river, in an area reclaimed from the sea, with a view to to capture and store, for later use, the flow of water that the river pours daily into the sea.

La presente invención se encuadra en el sector de la técnica de Obras hidráulicas, concretamente en el relativo a la construcción de embalses y aprovechamiento de los caudales de agua que se pierden, arrojados al mar, en la desembocadura de los ríos.The present invention is part of the hydraulic works technique sector , specifically in relation to the construction of reservoirs and the use of water flows that are lost, thrown into the sea, at the mouth of the rivers.

Estado de la técnicaState of the art

Se conocen diversos procedimientos para la construcción de embalses, que guardan cierta relación con la presente invención, pero, generalmente, todos ellos han sido construidos aguas arriba, en el cauce del propio río, con objeto de regular su caudal; sin embargo, no conocemos ningún caso, parecido al nuestro, en el que un embalse de gran capacidad, se construye en la desembocadura de un río, en una zona ganada al mar, con objeto de captar y embalsar las aguas que dicho río vierte diariamente, empleando además, una nueva técnica constructiva, no utilizada hasta ahora para esos fines.Various procedures are known for construction of reservoirs, which have a certain relationship with the present invention, but generally all of them have been built upstream, in the riverbed itself, in order to regulate its flow; however, we don't know any case, similar to ours, in which a large capacity reservoir is built at the mouth of a river, in an area reclaimed from the sea, with object of capturing and embalming the waters that said river pours daily, also using a new constructive technique, not used so far for those purposes.

Explicación de la invenciónExplanation of the invention.

El procedimiento de esta invención, presenta dos innovaciones a tener en cuenta: la primera de ellas, que en la construcción del embalse, se emplea una técnica constructiva original, que se utiliza por primera vez, para esos fines y, la segunda, que el embalse se construye en el interior del mar, en una zona inmediata a la desembocadura de un río, lo que le capacita para recoger y almacenar el caudal de agua que dicho río vierte diariamente al mar. El citado procedimiento, que vamos a describir a continuación, está basado en la técnica que se utiliza para construir un "pólder", (término neerlandés, que define las superficies terrestres ganadas al mar). Su procedimiento de construcción, consiste en aislar por completo, rodeándola por medio de diques, una zona próxima a la costa, cubierta por el mar. Al cerrar los diques, queda en su interior una laguna de agua salada, que, posteriormente, se vacía, expulsando el agua hacia el mar, mediante bombeo y, finalmente, se rellena con tierra la oquedad que queda, rodeada por los diques. Mi invención, que utiliza en su primera parte dicho procedimiento de construcción, consiste en cerrar, mediante un dique o diques continuos, la zona del mar inmediata a la desembocadura del río y, en extraer, mediante bombeo, el agua que ha quedado encerrada en el interior, expulsándola hacia el mar; pero a partir de aquí, difiere, puesto que en lugar de rellenar con tierra la oquedad que anteriormente ocupaba el agua del mar, en nuestro caso, la utilizamos, como un embalse, para almacenar el agua dulce, que captaremos de la desembocadura del río. Este procedimiento de construcción, se puede utilizar fácilmente en zonas próximas a la costa, en las que la profundidad del mar sea pequeña, como suele ocurrir en la desembocadura de los ríos, lo que permite asentar los diques firmemente, sobre la plataforma continental. Una de las ventajas que reportaría esta invención, sería, que, con su aprovechamiento óptimo, al menos en teoría, podríamos llegar a recuperar la totalidad de las aguas, que el río, en cuya desembocadura se construya el embalse, vierte diariamente al mar, que, adecuadamente aprovechadas, atenuarían, la sequía que actualmente sufren extensas zonas de nuestro país; por lo que, si consideramos junto a esto, que el agua es uno de los recursos naturales más preciados y que el cambio climático que nos amenaza, aumentará aún más, nuestra escasez de recursos hídricos, resulta evidente la importancia que podría representar para dichas zonas, el desarrollo de la misma. Otra ventaja a considerar, seria, que una vez construido el embalse, actuaría como un tapón, que impedirla por completo, la penetración de la cuña salina en el cauce del río, en los periodos de estiaje; lo que daría lugar a que las poblaciones ribereñas del río, próximas a su desembocadura, disfrutasen de un agua de mejor calidad.The process of this invention presents two  innovations to take into account: the first one, which in the construction of the reservoir, a constructive technique is used original, which is used for the first time, for those purposes and, the second, that the reservoir is built inside the sea, in a immediate area at the mouth of a river, which enables it to collect and store the flow of water that said river pours daily to the sea. The aforementioned procedure, which we will describe   then it is based on the technique that is used to build a "polder", (Dutch term, which defines the land areas gained from the sea). His procedure of construction, consists of completely isolating, surrounding it by means of dikes, an area near the coast, covered by the sea. To the close the dikes, there is a salt water lagoon inside, which subsequently empties itself, expelling water to the sea, by pumping and finally the hollow that is filled with earth is filled It is surrounded by dikes. My invention, which he uses in his first part said construction procedure, consists of close, by means of a dike or continuous dikes, the sea area immediately at the mouth of the river and, in extracting, by pumping, the water that has been locked inside, expelling it towards the sea; but from here, it differs, since instead of fill the hollow previously occupied by water from the sea, in our case, we use it, as a reservoir, to store fresh water, which we will capture from the mouth of the River. This construction procedure can be used easily in areas near the coast, where the depth of the sea is small, as usually happens at the mouth of the rivers, which allows the dikes to settle firmly, on the Continental platform. One of the advantages that would report this invention would be that, with its optimal use, at least in theory, we could get to recover all the waters, which the river, at whose mouth the reservoir is built, pours daily to the sea, which, properly used, would mitigate the drought that currently suffer extensive areas of our country; for the that, if we consider next to this, that water is one of the more precious natural resources and that climate change that we threat, it will increase even more, our scarcity of water resources, it is evident the importance that could represent for these zones, the development of it. Another advantage to consider, would be, Once the reservoir was built, it would act as a plug, which prevent it completely, the penetration of the salt wedge in the channel   from the river, during the dry season; which would result in the riverside populations of the river, close to its mouth, enjoy a better quality water.

Exposición detalladaDetailed Exposure

Expondremos a continuación un modo de realización de la invención, con mayor detalle, con ayuda de unos dibujos esquemáticos, que representan únicamente, una de las muchas disposiciones, que podría seguir el trazado de los diques que precisamos construir. En esta exposición, no pormenorizamos sobre la forma, dimensiones, ni normas técnicas que deben seguirse en la construcción de los diques, puesto que esto está resuelto industrialmente y no es objeto de esta invención, que lo único que exige, es que deben estar impermeabilizados y bien cimentados, para evitar que se produzcan infiltraciones de agua del mar y fugas del agua embalsada. En cuanto a la realización, comprenderá varias etapas: en primer lugar, elegiremos la zona de emplazamiento del embalse, que deberá estar situada en la proximidad de la costa y abarcando la desembocadura del río (según se representa en la figura 1). Una vez elegido el emplazamiento, calcularemos las dimensiones que deberá tener, en función del volumen de agua que deseemos embalsar (que, en principio, estimamos deberá ser, algo mayor, que el caudal medio, que el río vierte diariamente al mar) y, una vez conocido dicho caudal y las profundidades del mar, en la proximidad a la desembocadura, determinaremos la superficie que deberá tener el embalse, lo que nos permitirá proyectar el trazado y dimensiones de los diques que delimitarán su contorno. No obstante, en lo referente a dicha determinación, contamos con un gran margen de maniobra, puesto que podremos recurrir al dragado de los fondos, con lo que, al aumentar la profundidad, tendremos la posibilidad de reducir la citada superficie, así como la longitud de los diques, para almacenar el mismo volumen de agua. Éstos, estarán dotados de aliviaderos y compuertas, en los costados que miran al mar, para facilitar el desagüe en los casos de crecidas, y cuando se considere conveniente, por cualquier otra causa. En cuanto a la altura que deberán alcanzar, sobre el nivel del mar, para impedir que el agua dulce que almacenemos, se contamine al mezclarse con agua del mar, será suficiente con que superen dicha altura en las horas de la pleamar (más el margen de seguridad que se considere normal en la zona en que construimos), ya que forma parte integrante de esta invención, la construcción, al exterior del embalse, de un dique rompeolas, protector, más alto y aproximadamente paralelo a sus diques de contención, que ejerza esa función. Una vez elaborados los planos detallados del embalse, y, antes de comenzar la construcción de los diques, pasaremos a la siguiente etapa, que consistirá en canalizar el último tramo del cauce del río, en sus dos márgenes, hasta la zona de la desembocadura, donde dicha canalización entroncará (según se muestra en la figura 2), con el punto de arranque de los diques, que conformarán la boca de entrada al embalse, con la que coincidirá exactamente, en posición y amplitud. A partir de dicho entronque, continuará la construcción de los diques, en forma de dos ramas que, primeramente, se extenderán a derecha e izquierda siguiendo aproximadamente el perfil de la costa y, posteriormente, se apartarán de ella, internándose en el mar, según exija el trazado de los planos, hasta unirse finalmente, consiguiendo el cierre del embalse. A continuación, construiremos alrededor de los costados del embalse que miran al mar y, aproximadamente paralelo a sus diques, el dique rompeolas, protector, dejando entre ambos un amplio canal, que pueda absorber y dar salida al agua que viertan por sus aliviaderos los diques del embalse, cuando éste rebose por cualquier causa y, en especial, cuando se produzcan crecidas. En cuanto a la altura de este dique (cuyo trazado se representa en la figura 3), se tendrá en cuenta que deberá superar a la que alcanzan las olas en caso de temporales, en la zona del mar por la que desemboca el río. Por último, puesto que hemos construido los diques, hasta su cierre, mientras penetraba continuamente agua procedente de la desembocadura del río, el embalse estará lleno, hasta rebosar, por una mezcla de aguas, cuya mayor parte será agua del mar, que por ser más densa, se encontrará casi en su totalidad en el fondo del mismo, siendo ésta la que deberemos expulsar. Para facilitar la expulsión, se abrirán las compuertas de desagüe, de los diques del costado del embalse, que esté más apartado de la desembocadura, por lo que, al continuar entrando agua del río, se establecerá una corriente (que irá, desde la boca de entrada, hasta las compuertas que han sido abiertas), cuyo empuje facilitará, al menos parcialmente, la expulsión y disminuirá la necesidad de utilizar el bombeo. Periódicamente, antes de comenzar a bombear, se realizarán análisis del agua, con muestras extraídas a diversas profundidades del embalse, para comprobar su densidad y salinidad y, en caso necesario, se recurrirá a la expulsión por dicho método, hasta comprobar que el embalse únicamente contiene agua dulce, en cuyo momento podremos dar por concluidos los objetivos de la invención, ya que, según ha quedado expuesto, habremos construido un embalse, en una zona ganada al mar, próxima a la desembocadura de un río, cuyas aguas hemos captado y tenemos almacenadas en el interior del embalse, dispuestas para su distribución y posterior aprovechamiento.We will present a mode of embodiment of the invention, in greater detail, with the help of schematic drawings, which represent only one of the many provisions, which could follow the layout of the levees that We need to build. In this exhibition, we do not detail the shape, dimensions, or technical standards that must be followed in the construction of the dikes, since this is solved industrially and is not the subject of this invention, that the only thing that demands, is that they must be waterproofed and well grounded, to prevent seawater infiltration and leakage of embalmed water As for the realization, you will understand several Stages: First, we will choose the location area of the reservoir, which should be located near the coast and covering the mouth of the river (as shown in the figure one). Once the site is chosen, we will calculate the dimensions that should have, depending on the volume of water we want damming (which, in principle, we estimate should be, somewhat larger, than the average flow, which the river pours daily into the sea) and, once known said flow and the depths of the sea, in the proximity at the mouth, we will determine the surface that it should have the reservoir, which will allow us to project the layout and dimensions of the dikes that will delimit its outline. However, in what Regarding this determination, we have a large margin of maneuver, since we can resort to dredging the funds, with which, when increasing the depth, we will have the possibility of reduce the aforementioned surface, as well as the length of the dikes, to store the same volume of water. These will be endowed with spillways and floodgates, on the sides facing the sea, to facilitate drainage in cases of floods, and when consider convenient, for any other cause. Refering to height to be reached, above sea level, to prevent that the fresh water that we store, is contaminated when mixed with sea water, it will be enough to exceed that height in the High tide hours (plus the safety margin considered normal in the area where we build), since it is part integral of this invention, the construction, outside the reservoir, breakwater dam, protector, higher and approximately parallel to its containment levees, to exercise that function. Once the detailed plans of the reservoir have been prepared, and, Before starting the construction of the levees, we will go to the next stage, which will consist of channeling the last section of the riverbed, in its two margins, to the area of the mouth, where said channeling will connect (as shown in figure 2), with the starting point of the dikes, that will make up the entrance mouth to the reservoir, with which it will coincide exactly, in position and breadth. From that junction, The construction of the dikes will continue, in the form of two branches which, first, will extend to the right and left following approximately the profile of the coast and subsequently they will move away from it, entering the sea, as the route demands of the plans, until finally joining, getting the closure of the reservoir. Next, we will build around the sides of the reservoir that look at the sea and, approximately parallel to their dykes, breakwater dike, protector, leaving between them a wide channel, which can absorb and discharge the water they pour by its spillways the dams of the reservoir, when it overflows by any cause and especially when floods occur. In as for the height of this dike (whose layout is represented in the figure 3), it will be taken into account that it must exceed the one that they reach the waves in case of storms, in the area of the sea where The river flows. Finally, since we have built the dikes, until closing, while continuously penetrating water coming from the mouth of the river, the reservoir will be full, until overflowing, by a mixture of waters, whose main part will be water from the sea, which, being denser, will be almost entirely at the bottom of it, this being the one we must expel. For facilitate the expulsion, the drain gates, of the dams on the side of the reservoir, which is further away from the mouth, so, as water continues to enter the river, will establish a current (which will go, from the inlet, to the floodgates that have been opened), whose push will facilitate, to less partially, the expulsion and will decrease the need for Use the pump. Periodically, before starting to pump, they will carry out water analysis, with samples taken from different depths of the reservoir, to check its density and salinity and, if necessary, the expulsion will be resorted to by said method, until checking that the reservoir only contains fresh water, in whose moment we can conclude the objectives of the invention, since, as has been exposed, we will have built a reservoir, in an area reclaimed from the sea, near the mouth of a river, whose waters we have captured and have stored inside of the reservoir, arranged for distribution and subsequent exploitation.

Aplicación Application

Dada la importancia que podría llegar a alcanzar la presente invención, entendemos que no corresponde al inventor indicar la manera en que sería posible su aplicación industrial; sin embargo, nos atrevemos a bosquejar algunos de los caminos que, se podrían seguir para ello, y los beneficios que se obtendrían, teniendo en cuenta que la invención quedaría incompleta y resultaría inservible, si no consiguiésemos aprovechar, al menos, parte del gran caudal de agua dulce, de nuestros ríos, que en estos momentos se desperdicia, por verterse al mar. Por dicha causa, consideramos que para posibilitar la aplicación de mi procedimiento, incluso cuando en las proximidades de la desembocadura de un río, existan playas, parques naturales, o instalaciones de cualquier tipo, que puedan verse perjudicadas por la construcción del embalse, y, con objeto de respetar al máximo su aspecto natural, así como sus condiciones ecológicas y medio ambientales, se podría abrir un cauce artificial, que, partiendo del cauce natural del río, desembocase en un punto próximo de la costa que resultase idóneo para los fines que se pretenden, de transporte del agua captada, a las regiones más necesitadas de recursos hídricos, siendo precisamente en la zona de la desembocadura de dicho cauce artificial, en la que construiríamos el embalse, cuyas dimensiones, así como las del cauce artificial, se corresponderían con las de los caudales de agua que se pretenden recuperar. En la zona de entronque de ambos cauces, cada uno de ellos debería estar dotado de una compuerta maniobrable, que permita regular el caudal que, en cada momento, se considere debe circular por el mismo. Por otra parte, el cauce artificial debería disponer de un sistema que permita retener y, posteriormente retirar, los sedimentos que arrastre el agua, para evitar que se depositen en el fondo del embalse y, poco a poco, vayan reduciendo su capacidad. Con la apertura del cauce artificial, a mi juicio se obtendrían las siguientes ventajas: 1) no se impediría la navegación en los ríos que fuesen navegables, ni el tránsito de especies aguas arriba y aguas abajo, 2) como ya se ha dicho, podríamos regular, a voluntad, los caudales que circulasen en cada momento, por cada cauce del río, 3) en los casos de grandes avenidas se podría cerrar la compuerta del cauce artificial, con lo que no se producirían daños al embalse, ni serían necesarias operaciones especiales para su limpieza, ya que toda la suciedad arrastrada por las aguas seria conducida al mar libre, 4) en los períodos de estiaje, se podría cerrar la compuerta del cauce natural del río, con lo que se impediría la entrada de la cuña salina, 5) no se impediría la pesca, ni ninguna de las labores que anteriormente se viniesen realizando en la zona de la desembocadura. En cuanto a los ríos que desembocan en la costa por varios brazos, podría construirse el embalse en la desembocadura que resultase más favorable o recurrir a la construcción del cauce artificial, aplicable en todos los casos.Given the importance it could reach the present invention, we understand that it does not correspond to the inventor indicate the way in which its industrial application would be possible; without However, we dare to sketch some of the roads that, are they could continue for it, and the benefits that would be obtained, taking into account that the invention would be incomplete and would result unusable, if we fail to take advantage of at least part of the large flow of fresh water, from our rivers, which right now It is wasted, by spilling into the sea. For that reason, we consider that to enable the application of my procedure, even when in the vicinity of the mouth of a river, there are beaches, natural parks, or facilities of any kind, which may be harmed by the construction of the reservoir, and, with in order to fully respect its natural appearance, as well as its ecological and environmental conditions, it could open a artificial channel, which, starting from the natural riverbed, It ends at a point near the coast that is ideal for the intended purposes, of transporting the collected water, to the regions most in need of water resources, being precisely in the area of the mouth of said channel artificial, in which we would build the reservoir, whose dimensions, as well as those of the artificial channel, would correspond to those of the water flows that are intended to recover. In the zone of junction of both channels, each of them should be endowed with a maneuverable gate, which allows to regulate the flow that, in every moment, it is considered that it must circulate through it For other part, the artificial channel should have a system that allow to retain and subsequently remove the sediments that drag the water, to prevent them from depositing at the bottom of the reservoir and, little by little, reduce its capacity. With the opening of the artificial channel, in my opinion the following advantages: 1) river navigation would not be prevented that were navigable, nor the transit of upstream species and downstream, 2) as already stated, we could regulate, at will, the flows that circulate in each moment, for each riverbed, 3) in cases of large avenues the gate could be closed of the artificial channel, which would not cause damage to the reservoir, nor would special operations be necessary for its cleaning, since all the dirt dragged by the waters would be led to the free sea, 4) during periods of dryness, it could be close the floodgate of the natural riverbed, so that it would prevent the entry of the salt wedge, 5) the fishing, or any of the work that came before performing in the area of the mouth. As for the rivers that they flow into the coast by several arms, the reservoir at the mouth that is more favorable or resort to the construction of the artificial channel, applicable in all cases.

Otras acciones complementarias que facilitarían la aplicación de este procedimientoOther complementary actions that would facilitate the application of this procedure

1) Podría construirse un puerto, adosado al exterior de los diques que cierran el embalse, para atraque de barcos cisterna, que de este modo podrían aprovisionarse de agua dulce, apta para el riego y transportarla a zonas deficitarias en recursos hídricos.1) A port could be built, attached to the outside of the dams that close the reservoir, for docking tankers, which could thus be supplied with water sweet, suitable for irrigation and transport it to deficit areas in water resources.

2) Podría unirse dicho puerto, con la costa, por medio de un viaducto, que facilitase el acceso a una flota de camiones cisterna, que aprovisionasen de agua dulce, a las estaciones depuradoras y potabilizadoras.2) This port could be joined, with the coast, by via a viaduct, which facilitates access to a fleet of tank trucks, which supplied fresh water, at purification and purification stations.

3) Podrían construirse, en lugares próximos de la costa, accesibles por carretera otros embalses más pequeños que el embalse principal, y unidos a éste, por conducciones submarinas o por acueductos, lo que facilitaría la distribución del agua
embalsada.3) Other smaller reservoirs than the main reservoir could be built by road, near the coast, and connected to it, by underwater conduits or by aqueducts, which would facilitate water distribution
embalmed

4) Lo que tal vez fuese más económico y práctico de este procedimiento, es que si se aplicase en ríos de gran caudal, permitiría la posibilidad de captar considerables volúmenes de agua dulce y construir un sistema de canalizaciones submarinas que, partiendo de él, podrían transportar el agua captada, hasta los puntos más apropiados de las zonas más necesitadas de recursos hídricos. Este método de transporte, causaría un impacto ambiental mínimo, y además, no se vena afectado, ni por la orografía del terreno, ni por su dependencia jurisdiccional de otras administraciones públicas, ni daría lugar a expropiaciones, cambios de uso o consumo de
territorio.4) What might be more economical and practical for this procedure, is that if it were applied in high-flow rivers, it would allow the possibility of capturing considerable volumes of fresh water and building a system of underwater pipelines that, starting from it, could transport the collected water, to the most appropriate points of the most needy areas of water resources. This method of transport would cause a minimal environmental impact, and in addition, it is not affected, neither by the orography of the land, nor by its jurisdictional dependence on other public administrations, nor would it result in expropriations, changes in use or consumption of
territory.

Soy consciente de la fortísima inversión económica, que exigiría la aplicación de este procedimiento, pero debe tenerse en cuenta el incalculable valor de los grandes caudales de agua dulce que mundialmente se podrían recuperar, y, por otra parte, debe considerarse, también, que se trata de una innovación constructiva, que representa un gran avance, ya que, a mi entender, se utilizaría por primera vez en el mundo para estos fines.I am aware of the very strong investment economic, which would require the application of this procedure, but the incalculable value of large flows must be taken into account  of fresh water that could be recovered worldwide, and on the other part, it must also be considered that it is an innovation constructive, which represents a breakthrough, since, in my opinion, It would be used for the first time in the world for these purposes.

Procedimiento de construcción de un embalse, en una zona ganada al mar, próxima a la desembocadura de un río, que permite captar y almacenar para su posterior aprovechamiento, el caudal de agua que el río vierte diariamente al mar, utilizando una nueva técnica constructiva (basada en la que se emplea en la construcción de un pólder), caracterizado porque el embalse está constituido por un dique o diques de contención (2), continuos e impermeables, que, por la parte de la costa, se ciñen aproximadamente a ésta, siguiendo su perfil, y, en la desembocadura del río, conforman la boca o bocas de entrada al embalse (4), que coinciden exactamente, en posición y en amplitud, con la desembocadura del cauce o cauces del río, y se prolongan a derecha e izquierda de ésta, para internarse posteriormente en el mar, siguiendo el trazado que figura en los planos del embalse, hasta que ambas ramas se unen formando un recinto cerrado (3), que delimita al embalse y atrapa en su interior, el agua dulce que vierte el río por su desembocadura. Los diques de contención, están dotados de aliviaderos y compuertas, en los costados del embalse que miran al mar, para facilitar el desagüe en los casos de crecidas y, cuando se considere conveniente por cualquier otra causa.1. Procedure for the construction of a reservoir, in an area gained from the sea, near the mouth of a river, which allows to capture and store for its subsequent use, the flow of water that the river pours daily into the sea, using a new technique constructive (based on the one used in the construction of a polder), characterized in that the reservoir is constituted by a continuous and impermeable dam (2), which, on the part of the coast, are approximately this, following its profile, and, at the mouth of the river, make up the mouth or mouths of entry to the reservoir (4), which coincide exactly, in position and in breadth, with the mouth of the riverbed or riverbeds, and extend to the right and left of it, to enter later in the sea, following the path that appears in the planes of the reservoir, until both branches join forming a closed enclosure (3), which delimits the reservoir and traps inside , the fresh water that pours the river by its mouth. Containment dikes are equipped with spillways and floodgates, on the sides of the reservoir that face the sea, to facilitate drainage in cases of floods and, when deemed appropriate for any other cause. 2. Un procedimiento de construcción, según la reivindicación 1, que comprende la construcción de un dique rompeolas (1), protector, al exterior del embalse, más alto que sus diques de contención (2) y que sigue un trazado aproximadamente paralelo al de estos, dejando entre ambos un amplio canal, abierto al mar por sus dos extremos, capaz de absorber y dar salida al agua que viertan por sus aliviaderos los diques del embalse, cuando éste rebose por cualquier causa y, en especial, cuando se produzcan crecidas. El objeto de este dique, que carecerá de aliviaderos y compuertas, es impedir que el agua del mar penetre en el embalse y contamine al agua dulce almacenada.2. A construction procedure, according to the claim 1, comprising the construction of a dike breakwater (1), protector, outside the reservoir, higher than its containment dikes (2) and which follows a rough path parallel to these, leaving a wide open channel between them to the sea at its two extremes, capable of absorbing and leaving the water that the dams of the reservoir pour through its spillways, when it overflow for any cause and especially when they occur grown. The object of this dike, which will lack spillways and gates, is to prevent seawater from entering the reservoir and contaminate stored fresh water.
