The Junta de Andalucía has started an initiative to clear the riverbeds in Ronda to prevent a repeat of the Christmas Eve floods when the Rio Guadalcobacín overflowed at the confluence with the Rio Guadalevín. The Empresa de Gestión Medioambiental, S. A. (Egmasa) is clearing the riverbed of logs, wood and other debris likely to cause a blockage or build up of water.
