Abstract

The effect of the Pyrenean reservoirs on flood control is studied. It is a complex phenomenon related to the impounded ratio index, the aim of the reservoir, the inflow and outflow regime and the location of the dam when they belong to a multi reservoir system. The combination of these factors explains the way in which floods are controlled. In spite of the large variability in the intensity of flood control, a clear decrease of the highest discharges in the Pyrenean rivers has been confirmed. The Aragón and Ésera rivers show the lowest flood control capacity.
