“…To date, studies have focused on the largest and best‐preserved dams. Some of them are Almonacid de la Cuba dam (Aguasvivas River, tributary of the Ebro River, Figure 1) (Arenillas et al, 1995; Beltrán & Viladés, 1994; I. Hereza, 1996; I. Hereza et al, 2000; J. I. Hereza et al, 1996); Muel dam (Huerva River, Ebro River basin, Figure 1) (Arenillas et al, 2006; Magallón et al, 2016; Uribe et al, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2016); Cornalbo, Proserpina, and Consuegra dams, in the Guadiana River basin (Arenillas et al, 1992, 2007; García‐Diego et al, 1983a, 1983b; Álvarez Martínez, 2007; Álvarez Martínez et al, 2002; Aranda & Sánchez Carcaboso, 2000; Aranda et al, 2006; Giles Pacheco, 2011; Martín Morales et al, 2002; Rodríguez Untoria, 2011); and Alcantarilla dam, in the Tajo River basin (Aranda & Sánchez Carcaboso, 2000; Aranda et al, 1997; Arenillas & Barahona, 2009a, 2009b; Barahona Oviedo et al, 2014; Barahona, 2018a, 2018b; Celestino, 1976; Sánchez Abal, 1977). For this reason, these are the most widely cited dams in the literature on civil constructions (Baba et al, 2018; Jansen, 1983; Mays, 2008, 2010; Schnitter, 1994; Smith, 1970, 1971; among others).…”
