The Anchuricas dam was built with the aim of providing electricity to the area. Its main mission is to maintain constant water heights to supply the Miller hydroelectric plant (about 8 kilometers downstream from the dam to the surroundings of the hamlet of the same name). This water is led through a piped channel with a certain subhorizontal gradient, until it reaches the height of the power plant from where, together with the waters from the Embalse de la Novia, it rushes towards the turbines.
This dam was built in 1957 and is filled with the Segura River and the Toba spring, in addition to naturally all the important contributions of water that occur along the channel. The turquoise color of its waters stands out, and that the hydroelectric plant is located, not on the dam wall, but several kilometers downstream, taking advantage of the unevenness of the terrain.
