rebosaderos del alisio

Spanish to English Other Archaeology Text from the Canary Islands
Tanto los testimonios arqueológicos, asi como su destacada posición topográfica y geográfica en el paisaje sobrecogedor de la Caldera de Tejeda, en uno de los principales rebosaderos del alisio hacia el interior de La Caldera, cuya imagen tuvo posiblemente que encerrar un especial significado para los antiguos pobladores de este territorio montañoso, nos permiten aproximarnos al posible uso y significado que tuvo este lugar para la población canaria.

rain waterfalls/cloud waterfalls caused by trade winds

It seems to me that "rebosadero" here refers to a rainfall waterfall, or "cloud waterfall", rather than a spring, as the text mentions the water going into the Caldera, "hacia el interior". The trade winds cause a spectacular phenomenum in the area:

"The cloud waterfall is caused by those same, star-perfect Atlantic trade winds hitting the tall, steep island. If this island was located anywhere else, and if it wasn’t a massive volcano, the cloud waterfall, the microclimates, the clear sky – none of it would exist."
