Joanna Ivarsmeteorologist laSexta, compares and analyzes two images captured by satellite of before and after the passage of the DANA through Valenciathe worst in the history of Spain. These belong to October 2022 and October 2024. The picture is gloomy, since the landscape has completely changed and the consequences will persist over time.
In this photograph, which illustrates the news and which was provided by NASA, we can see the coastal area of the province of Valencia. To the north lies the city, barely modified; while The southern sector has become a real quagmire since, as Ivars reports, “the flood flowed into the new Turia canal with all kinds of materials, natural and man-made.
This new canal failed to “sustain the flow of the incoming flow”, so the entire southern sector became a quagmire. As we can see, the flood also spilled into the Mediterranean Sea in the area near the port of Valencia, from where a large tongue of mud juts out into the sea.
For his part, “The Rambla de Poyo has multiplied the flow of the Ebro fourfold, which is one of the largest rivers in Spain. “In this”only 1,800 cubic meters fit per second” explains the meteorologist, who reports that, during the storm, “transported, in the Paiporta area, 2,300”, which means “500 cubic meters more per second”. “The image is devastating,” he emphasizes.
Likewise, also Albufera was hit and its lagoon, where “a large part of the water carried by the rivers flowed”. “Part of the lagoon’s exosystem is damaged,” explains Joanna Ivars. And the passage of the DANA caused a drop of “618 liters per square meter” in certain areas of the Valencian Community, which represents a “historic record in Spain of precipitation per day and per hour”.
