Azud de Zaragoza, Diversion dam in Vadorrey and Las Fuentes districts, Zaragoza, Spain.
The Azud de Zaragoza spans 200 meters across the Ebro River with eight sluices and control facilities near the Fray Luis Urbano Street.
The dam, inaugurated on June 10, 2008, bears the name of Manuel Lorenzo Pardo, the founder of the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation in the early 20th century.
The structure connects the districts of Vadorrey and Las Fuentes through a pedestrian walkway designed by architect Isidro Navarro Delgado.
The dam automatically lowers its gates when river flow exceeds 515 cubic meters per second to prevent water level increases during high-flow situations.
The infrastructure includes a river port in Vadorrey and maintains stable water levels between the dam and the Ranillas meander entrance to Zaragoza.
