		However, the river's source is often given a few kilometres downstream at Fontibre, As it moves out of the Cordillera it cuts eastwards across the Peninsula, forming the Ebro Depression and effectively separating the Pyrenees from the Sístema Ibérica.
		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.

	Summary of Past World Bank Projects and Project Components in Kosovo - 1970-1987
		The Ibar project was the first phase in the implementation of the master plan to develop the principal rivers in the region, Ibar and Lepenac, to provide water for industry, communities, irrigation and power generation.
		The main elements of the Ibar project were the construction of two dams, a 34 MW hydroelectric plant (generating 95 Gwh of peak power annually), 147 km of main water conduits, two pumping stations, irrigation (for 30,000 ha) and drainage networks, feeder roads and engineering services.
		Development of the Ibar river was determined to be the least costly solution for supplying the industrial demand for water, which was expected to triple over the coming 15 years.
