The reservoir is used for agricultural irrigation. You can swim here and there are also fitness trails. To the southwest of the main lake there is an ecological reservoir of 14 hectares, where fishing and tourist activities are prohibited as the wildlife is protected here. Migratory birds also use the lake on their journey.
