Tous Reservoir, Water reservoir in Tous, Spain
The reservoir extends across the Júcar River valley with a height of 130 meters, providing water resources for agriculture and electricity generation.
Built in the 1970s, the original dam structure failed during intense rainfall in 1982, leading to catastrophic flooding that affected 100,000 people.
The reservoir hosts yearly fishing competitions where participants from different regions gather to demonstrate their angling skills and share experiences.
Visitors need fishing permits to engage in activities at the reservoir, which offers designated areas for picnics and nature observation.
The rebuilt dam from 1996 features an ungated open channel spillway system designed to manage maximum flood scenarios without mechanical intervention.
