The history of the Chira Dam begins on August 30, 1932, in the middle of the 2nd Republic, when the Cabildo of Gran Canaria requested the concession of the discontinuous public waters that flow through the Barranco de Chira in order to fill the Soria reservoir. However, the difficulties that occurred during the processing of the project corresponding to the Soria Dam motivated the Provincial Chief Engineer to order the replacement of the diversion dam solution with a reservoir dam (to focus its objective on water storage) and He ordered the drafting of a new project that was approved in 1941. During the almost 25 years that the work lasted, 36,000 cubic meters were excavated, two quarries were opened to obtain 28,000 cubic meters of masonry for the body of the dam, 40,000 cubic meters of inert materials They built almost 37 kilometers of access roads and an 18-kilometer distribution channel, 28 tons of explosives were used and lime silos and a water tank had to be built.
