Jucar

The Jucar is a river in Spain's Iberian Peninsula. From its source at Ojuelos de Valdeminguete, on the eastern edge of the Montes Universales, Sistema Ibérico, the river flows for around 509 kilometers. The Cabriel is its most important tributary.

Cuenca, Alcalá del Jucar, Cofrentes, Alzira, Sueca, and Cullera, a town near its mouth into the Gulf of Valencia, Mediterranean Sea, flow southward and then eastward through the towns of Cuenca, Alcalá del Jucar, Cofrentes, Alzira, Sueca, and Cullera, a town near its mouth into the Gulf of Valencia, Mediterranean Sea. It runs through Cuenca, Albacete, and Valencia provinces.

The river Jucar burst the Tous's reservoir in 1982, triggering the worst flood in Spanish history, with a flow rate of 16,000 cubic meters per second and the deaths of over 30 people. This flood was the most significant in the history of Spain at the time since the Tous reservoir was supposed to be unbreakable. La pantanada de Tous was the name given to the flood.
