In the Arroyo de las Veguillas, also called «Arroyo Platero», about 2.5 kilometers from the town, is the reservoir of «Las Majadillas», which supplies the town. It is located in the municipality of Garganta la Olla,[23] although it belongs to Jaraíz. It has a capacity of 1,953 hm³.[23] It was built during the mandate of Victoriano Macías. It supplies the towns that form the beginning of the conurbation described in the introduction: Torremenga and Collado de la Vera.[23] There are no significant aquifers in the municipality.
