What really happened at the Cecopi meeting on the afternoon of October 29 remains key to settle responsibilities on the consequences of the Dana, which devastated half a province of Valencia and the lives of 227 people were claimed. So, yes … A few days ago the president of the Hydrographic Confederation of Turia (CHJ), Miguel Polo -present that day in a telematic way -recognized that during the two and a half hours more critical “No information from the Poyo Rambla was transmitted”now from the popular parliamentary group they have requested their appearance in Congress to explain the situation, as ABC has been able to know.
According to the popular ones, “this lack of information prevented taking prevention and protection measures, putting lives at risk”, so they demand “explanations and immediate responsibilities for this serious negligence.” Specifically, the Popular Parliamentary Group requests the appearance in the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge Commission «to inform about the development of the Ordinary Governing Board of the CHJ held on December 19, in which it is recognized that E Entre 16:13 and 6:43 PM on October 29, 2024prior to floods, no information from the Poyo Rambla was transmitted ».
According to the various testimonies, the meeting of that day at the Cecopi, which began at 5:00 p.m. Water accumulates over the capacity for which it was built. However, The data on the Poyo ravine were neglectedboth of its flow (which became five times that of the Ebro), and of the rains in its header area, which exceeded 600 liters per square meter in just a few hours.
In both issues, the CHJ, through its automatic hydrological information system (SAIH), has the necessary instruments, both rainfall in all areas of its demarcation and the only flowmeter that exists in the Poyo ravine, located at its Step by Ribarroja. In fact, on the capacity of the poyo, I had already launched a warning signal that noonshortly after having passed the alert threshold (150 m³/s).
Later, the flow decreased and would not be worrying again until 17:25, when it was again in 151.60 m³/s, although the CHJ did not launch the alert, through an e-mail aseptic, until the 18:43. By then, the situation was already totally uncontrolled, with more than two thousand cubic meters per second. In fact, the last measurement of the flowmeter before the force of the water left it disabled, took place at 6:55 p.m. with 2,282.90 m³/s. Just an hour later, all That water completely flooded the populations of the zero zone in the region of L’Horta Sud of Valencia. A situation that could even have been anticipated if the measurements of the rainfall have been taken into account in the headquarters of the Poyo ravine, such as Chiva and Turís, which registered torrential rains around 4:00 p.m.
