Flood prevention and water management in Valencia

Overview

The Valencian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FVMP) has called for increased flood prevention measures ahead of the autumn rainy season. Initially, the FVMP requested that the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation (CHJ) prioritize cleaning riverbeds and ravines, specifically the Turia riverbed, to prevent vegetation and debris from impeding water evacuation.

Following these concerns, the FVMP escalated its demands by requesting urgent coordination meetings with the Júcar, Segura, and Ebro Hydrographic Confederations. President Paqui Bartual emphasized that municipal safety should take precedence over legal debates.

In response to environmental and management needs, the CHJ has launched a restoration project for the Carraixet ravine in Bétera. With a budget exceeding 520,000 euros, the project aims to recover riparian forests and improve ecosystem functionality, involving coordination with the Generalitat Valenciana and the Bétera City Council.
