Following the recent storm that has affected several Valencian municipalities with catastrophic consequences, Calpe's Environment Department has begun work to clean up the Quisi ravine, specifically in the area of the Casanova bridge, despite the fact that it is the responsibility of the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation.
Two bulldozers are working on the ground in this preventive emergency action. The aim is to remove the Arundo Donax reed that proliferates in the bed of this ravine and thus avoid possible obstructions that could lead to the river overflowing. The Environment Councilor, Pere Moll, stressed that: ‘we cannot remain impassive in the face of the threat posed by this situation; if we do nothing, a catastrophe could happen and we want to avoid a repeat of the disasters we have suffered and guarantee the safety of our neighbours’ and indicated that ‘the CHJ's inaction cannot be an excuse’.
A measure that takes on greater importance in view of the weather forecast of a new storm for the middle of this week.
On the other hand, the Environment Department has placed Posidonia meadows in the southern area of La Fossa beach - the closest to Penyal d'Ifac - in order to prevent sand loss during the next storm.
