"Damage caused by floods have to do directly with a faulty management of the territory," says Luis Suarez, who is the President of the Bar Association Officer of Geologists (Icog). "For the Chief Officer is important to comply with article 15 of the law of the land, which in his opinion, is drawing up maps of natural risks prior to the General plans of urbanization of municipalities".

Suárez also favoured a pre-trial geology that municipal policies avoid greater evils. "If there is a slip of an unstable slope or a collapse zone active, not you can settle a population on this ground", says the leader of the Icog.

Heavy rains can cause not only floods but also landslides of the ground, it is by this that Luis Suárez indicates that it must be "competence of municipalities to develop overall plans of urban management to be endorsed by the autonomous communities and adapt urban management to the previous map of natural hazards".

Spain is a high risk of flooding

The Iberian country has a high risk of flooding due to its type of territory and its river system according to a study of the geological and mining of Spain (Igme) which already dates back to 1986. This report, until 2016 established that the losses for these two decades could be ECMA million euros, of which 56% were from floods. Communities with the highest rate of risk are in this order, Andalusia, Valencia and Catalonia.

These are geographic areas where there are ' flood lightning ' due to phenomena such as the 'cold drop', especially in the province of Valencia, or type 'flash' floods caused by storms that yield large amounts of rain on small slopes.

The meteorological phenomena listed we must unite the lack of vegetation in Mediterranean communities, since it retains the rain so that when this is in short supply "rain water becomes surface runoff, which is not filtered and has devastating effects on the ground"He analyzed Suárez.
