Ter (river)
Template:Short description Template:For-multi
The Ter (Template:IPA) is a river in Catalonia, Spain. It rises in the Ulldeter, a glacial cirque in the East Pyrenees, at an approximate elevation of Template:Convert. At heights of around Template:Convert, the nearby peaks bordering the Ulldeter—the Bastiments, the Gra de Fajol, and the Pic de la Dona—supply its headwaters. The river runs through the comarques of Ripollès, Osona, Selva, Gironès, and Baix Empordà, discharging into the Mediterranean Sea at l'Estartit.<ref name="gran catalan">Template:Cite encyclopedia</ref>
The Ter follows a course of Template:Convert and drains an area of approximately Template:Convert; its basin is described by a dendritic (branching, tree-like) and exorheic drainage pattern. Annually, an average of Template:Convert of water is moved by the river, with an average flow rate of Template:Convert at its mouth. Although its headwaters are in the Pyrenees, the Ter receives significant inflow from rivers in the middle and lower plains. Thus it is susceptible to flooding in both the spring and the autumn.<ref name="gran catalan"/>
