The "Charca Suárez" is a surface of perennial free water, although fluctuating, which is fed both by groundwater from the Motril-Salobreña aquifer, and by the contributions of return water from the irrigation of La Vega. This surface comes from the transformation of the Guadalfeo River Delta, which, due to the increase in sedimentation in the area, produced a retreat of the coastline, giving rise to the Vega Motril-Salobreña, where finally, due to the dominance of fluvial sedimentation in front of Due to the erosive action of the coastal waters, a fluvial system of intertwined channels was created, where the frequent changes in the position of the channel gave rise to the appearance of flooded areas.

The "Charca Suárez" wetlands are located on the southern limit of the Motril-Salobreña detritic aquifer. This hydrogeological unit has an area of 42 km2, reserves of 181 Hm3 and annual resources of 47.3 Hm3.
