The Lingese Reservoir is not a drinking water reservoir, but a reservoir for industrial water. Therefore, designated bathing areas have been established in some locations, marked by signs and buoys.

A narrow path runs along the reservoir. There is an information panel that lists and describes the reservoir's "inhabitants".
