How did human activities in the Barranco del Poyo basin contribute to the severity of the flooding, and what measures are proposed to mitigate such risks in the future?

The COBCV's plan highlights the inadequacy of current infrastructure in managing extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change. The plan cites the Barranco del Poyo, a relatively small 480-square-kilometer basin, as a case study, noting how human activity, including industrial and agricultural encroachment, impeded natural water flow. The plan emphasizes the need for a shift towards nature-based solutions and a comprehensive re-evaluation of urban planning.
