  Río Pisuerga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Río Pisuerga is a river in northern Spain, the Douro's second largest tributary.
Since the 1950s the water level of the river has been very regular throughout the year due to the huge Aguilar de Campoo dam which collects all the water from the river's rainy upper valleys.
This regulation has allowed the creation of vast extensions of irrigated farmland along the Pisuerga's course across the northern Castilian plain.
