Original Note:
The New Turia channel is not to blame for the flooding; in fact it handled well and has been claimed to have saved the city of Valencia. It was the water that came from the south from another river bed, the Rambla del Poyo and its funnel effect. https://www.levante-emv.com/horta/2024/10/31/dana-en-valencia-el-efecto-embudo-y-el-brutal-caudal-de-la-rambla-del-poyo-claves-en-el-desastre-de-las-lluvias-torrenciales-110952711.html https://www.lasprovincias.es/valencia-ciudad/muralla-salvo-valencia-20241030010211-nt.html
