Abstract

This paper deals with the effects of the Yesa reservoir on the intensity and temporal distribution of floods in the Aragón River. The results confirm that the frequency of floods downstream the dam clearly decreased. The reduction mainly depended on two factors: i) the water storage level, and ii) the season of the year. Floods were very well controlled when the reservoir level was lower than 50%.
