Overview

  • The CHJ published responses to 41 formal objections, revealing CEDEX hydraulic models that ensure the subterranean canal can withstand debris without collapsing.
  • A landscape integration study highlights the recovery and preservation of Aldaia’s huerta through restoration of agricultural soils affected by construction.
  • A new agreement with the Ayuntamiento de Aldaia sets out dry-weather maintenance protocols, including ramps and access points along the buried canal.
  • Mayor María José Catalá’s municipal objections continue to stall formal approval, raising concerns of multi-year delays and repeat flood damage.
  • The Saleta diversion is the first phase of Spain’s €530 million Valencian flood-resilience plan, which allocates €467 million to regional hydraulic works.
