The current situation of the wadis and Churra Espinardo is another example of the irrationality of Murcia whose urban most responsible are the mayor of Murcia and Fernando exconcejal Berberena, currently defendants in the case UMBRA for alleged corruption.
The construction of housing estates in the central and southern Espinardo without prior hydrological study, as ordered by the General Urban Plan of Murcia, and no construction planned stormwater interceptor is the reckless politicians who must respond to the authorized.
Huermur has found that none of the partial plans approved in flood areas Espinardo, the Prop, Zarandona Churra and contains the required hydrologic-hydraulic study.
This study lack the ZA-Young Ed3 Futura, the ZM-pn7 Puntal, ZM-ZM-Ch6 and Ch5 in Churra and the CR6 and CR5 between Juan Carlos I and Juan de Borbón.
Nor does the study in the ZM-Zn3 Zarandona.
Also from Huermur noted that the piping of ditches Churra New, Old Churra, Zaraiche Alfatego and that were barriers where desaguaban Las Ramblas, has helped increase the flood damage.
For these reasons Huermur encourages affected by damage to their homes and vehicles to require the payment of such damages to those responsible for the consistory Murcia, and an investigation is opened for repairs and cleaning costs are not paid with money of taxes from citizens, but pay it out of pocket politicians responsible.
As has been shown HUERMUR by complaints from neighbors, had never entered the water in the houses located in the path of Granada West or in the decades leading located in downtown Espinardo.
Even with the severe floods of the eighties.
But now something has changed.
La Rambla de Espinardo collects its waters in the northwest of Murcia and following its natural course runs alongside the university campus and the hill where Terra Natura is located, into the Espinardo population.
For centuries, after passing through the town center, the promenade emptied into the channel ditches Churra Churra New and Old, at the height of the Palace of the Marquises of Espinardo.
When the water reached the boulevard exceeded the drainage capacity of these canals, which is parallel to them and a few meters of Alfatego circulates thus avoiding the water reached Murcia.
These ditches, in addition to its irrigation, acting on the avenues and drainage networks, taking water from the promenade and decreasing the amount of water that reaches Senda de Granada and Ranero, where once was a swampy area.
Similarly, the boulevard of Churra ended in the area known as The Fleet, creating another wetland area there, high water table.
With the construction of the ancient irrigation network were built to drain these ditches and swampy lowlands, and the beds of several ditches (Churra New, Old Churra, Alfatego and Zaraiche) were used to drain much of the water that had Las Ramblas.
To avoid dragging lands, orchards situated north of wetlands were constructed in stages, forming wide terraces.
The urban construction in recent years has ignored these hydrological, largely impermeable soil, creating slopes, ditches and ditches tubing and annulled in the wadi channels all in making urban land to build on.
Also has urbanized areas formerly swampy low overriding the ditches, regardless that they can not do the drainage function of these soils.
The craze has even been allowed the construction of a day care center Espinardo boardwalk, arguing that on flat ground and that was urban, forgetting that a watercourse does not disappear simply by deleting the map.
The consequence of all this is the rapid movement of water and its accumulation in the former marshes flooded garages and streets within minutes of torrential rain so characteristic of our climate.
Huermur states that if all this is bound to lack the required hydrologic-hydraulic study should be required prior to the construction of housing estates and the lack of interceptor provided to collect rain water from the wadi, we obtain the chaotic situation lived on Friday in the city of Murcia, considering that in Murcia fell far fewer liters of water that flooded the 177 Puerto Lumbreras.
Huermur has held that none of the partial plans approved in flood areas Espinardo, the strut, and Zarandona Churra contains hydraulic hydrological study.
This study lack the ZA-Young Ed3 Futura, the ZM-pn7 Puntal, ZM-ZM-Ch6 and Ch5 in Churra and the CR6 and CR5 between Juan Carlos I and Juan de Borbón.
Nor does the study in the ZM-Zn3 Zarandona.
All these changes explain why the residents of West Granada Trail, Espinardo, Juan Carlos I, Juan de Borbon y Churra have experienced this flood in their cars and homes and, just as they have to suffer the come.
The eagerness speculative terrain, which has prioritized the safety of people, the construction irrational and corruption pose a serious threat of new disasters occur with heavy rains.
Huermur claims that this situation is responsible name, and are Miguel Ángel Cámara, mayor of Murcia and Fernando Berberena exconcejal Planning, which should hold them accountable.
