- The modern town of Tous was entirely relocated in the 1970s and 1980s due to the construction of the Tous Dam, meaning the current town center is a planned settlement distinct from the original historical village.
- The Tous Reservoir, one of the most significant water management structures in the Valencian Community, fundamentally changed the landscape and agricultural economy of the surrounding river basin.
- The area experiences the 'Gota Fría' (cold drop) meteorological phenomenon, which historically led to the severe dam failure of 1982 that reshaped regional flood management policies.
