After a couple of days of heavy rainfall I decided to visit this part of Malta with the hope of catching the water overflowing from one dam to another. It was a beautiful walk as Wied il-Qlejgħa, as the valley is known, has been cleaned and extended further up to Fiddien. By the time I went, the waters had settled and the overflows had stopped. Still I had a great time.
Chadwick Lakes consists of a complex system of well-planned small dams, draining into Speranza Valley. The dams were planned by Mr. Osbert Chadwick in the late 1890s allowing fresh water to gather after winter rain. Apart from serving farmers in the area who irrigate their fields with it, collected rainwater serves as a habitat for different flora and fauna.
Thank you so much for your views, comments and fav's on yesterday's picture.
