Abstract: In 1982, an exceptionally severe flood demolished the Tous Dam. An assessment is made of the damage that the breakage of the dam caused over and above that caused by the natural phenomenon. An estimation is also provided of the economic risks involved due to the presence of the dam, in the face of severe flooding, and reference is made concerning the need to carry out aprioristic studies so that steps can be taken to reduce such risks.
