[EN] The fact that water stored in reservoirs may be used for diverse purposes - hydroelectricity, irrigation or industrial use, human consumption, recreation, etc. - explains the widely spread policy of building these structures all over the world during the 20th century. However, dams and reservoirs building policies at those times in Spain led to the disappearance of many villages in rural regions due to the flooding of large areas and, as a result, the loss of vernacular architecture and local traditions was unavoidable. In this research, it is aimed to analyse the building of Ricobayo reservoir by the company Saltos del Duero together with its consequences for the affected communities and their heritage through the case of a particular village: La Pueblica, located in the province of Zamora in Castile and León, Spain. La Pueblica was a little and humble village, isolated from modern times, with ‘unhygienic and meagre’ facilities. During the land and housing expropriation process in La Pueblica, Fernando Lopez Heptener recorded some images of the village before its final devastation for the docu-mentary called Por Tierras de España (1933). Due to the subsequent interest in spreading the film, nowadays it is possible for us to recover the lost image of La Pueblica, the vernacular ar-chitecture within as well as the traditions which were carried out in those spaces. If the future of dams is linked to sustainable energy resources and developing countries as thought nowadays, previous positive – but also negative – experiences must be considered, since, despite all the prior benefits linked to water utilisation, building these engineering structures undoubtedly implies a direct social effect on the communities and heritage elements connected to them, which could be decisive to manage our cultural heritage nowadays. |
