El Depósito (lit: The Deposit) is an old underground water reservoir in the city of San Juan in Metro Manila, Philippines. It was built by the Spanish authorities in 1882[1] with a capacity of 15 million gallons to provide the residents of Manila and its surrounding areas with an adequate water supply.[2] The reservoir was historically known as the site where the onset of the Philippine Revolution through the Battle of San Juan del Monte took place in 1896.[1]
