A cold drop’ has caused heavy rain and flooding across Spain ’s Mediterranean coast and in Andalusia , especially in the Valencian Community , Castilla-La Mancha and the Balearic Islands .

The storm has left hundreds dead and many more missing, with immense damage in the affected areas.

50 years ago , a DANA occurred every three or four years , typically in November .

Today , they can happen all year round.

This would slow the amount of water reaching the ramblas and barrancos , the gorges and channels that funnel rainwater through Spain ’s towns.

At the same time, this would mean water can be captured water by the soil, here is will be gradually returned to the rivers and reservoirs.

Not only is this feasible, it is cost-effective, generates many jobs, and could save hundreds , if not thousands of lives.
