The River Ebro has the greatest discharge of any Iberian river, and is the longest in Spain, and second only to the Tajo (Tagus, in thoery, in English) in Iberia.
The north bank of the river is fed first by the rivers of the Cordillera Cantábrica and then by those of the Pyrenees, including the Aragón, Gállego and Cinca-Segre, and to the south generally with a lower discharge, by tributaries from the Sistema Ibérico, including the Oja, Iregua, Jalón and Guadalope.
Although the Ebro has a significant discharge (for a Spanish river) this flow is irregular during the year with low levels at the end of summer and high levels during the spring melt of the Pyrenees, leading to a danger of flooding along much of its easterly length.

 Cuenca del Ebro
The Tertiary Ebro basin, located in the Northeastern part of the Iberian Peninsula, is framed by three mountain ranges, the Pyrenees to the North, the Iberian Chain to the South-west, and the Catalonian Coastal Ranges to the South-east.
Nevertheless, the Ebro basin evolved mainly as the southern foreland basin of the Pyrenees, and most of its structural features are related to this tectonic situation.
However, the Ebro basin is also an intraplate basin within the Iberian plate, and was affected by the tectonic evolution of the NE Iberian peninsula during the Neogene age.
