River in Catalonia, Spain
At the mouth it carries 37 m³/s on average: an Olympic pool every 67 seconds. It drops from 1,288 m to 334 m, 6.2 m per kilometre on average. Its basin covers 2,820 km², about the size of LU. 19,000 people live in it. Highest water: from May to June and from November to December. Dams and reservoirs hold back a large share of its water (50% of a year's flow).

Noguera Pallaresa, month by month
Highest water: from May to June and from November to December
Best months to visit: from June to September.
From about 6.9 m³/s in the lowest month to 44 m³/s in the highest. An estimate: the monthly flow is modelled from the lowest and highest months of WaterGAP (RiverATLAS, 1971–2000) and the rain and snow along the river (WorldClim). Dams change the real rhythm. The chip is the average air temperature; below it, the month's rain.
