Landowners from Salobreña, Molvízar and Vélez de Benaudalla are far from happy because of the work going on to bring water from Rules down to the coast.
Over a dozen years ago the A-44 autovía finally reached the coast and the old main road lost most of its traffic, yet many drivers still use it.
Anybody who has passed by Rules Reservoir cannot fail to have noted how empty it is – in places tiny islands rocks are emerging as the water level drops.
