I-BARCELONA, eSpain (AP) - Kwimizuzu nje embalwa, izikhukula ezibangelwa zizantyalantyala zemvula empuma yeSpain zatshayela phantse yonke into esendleleni yabo. Ngaphandle kwexesha lokusabela, abantu babevaleleke ezimotweni, amakhaya kunye namashishini. Abaninzi bafa kwaza kwatshabalala amawaka eendlela zokuphila.
Kwiveki kamva, abasemagunyeni bafumene imizimba engama-219 - engama-211 kubo kwingingqi esempuma yeValencia - kwaye bafuna ubuncinci abantu abangama-93 abangaziwayo. Amapolisa, abacimi mlilo kunye namajoni aqhubekile nokukhangela ngoLwesibini inani elingaziwayo labantu abadukileyo.
Kuninzi lweendawo ezingaphezu kwe-70 ezinempembelelo, uninzi lwazo ezibekwe emazantsi esixeko saseValencia, abantu basajongene nokunqongophala kwempahla esisiseko. Amanzi abuyele kwimibhobho kodwa abasemagunyeni bathi ngawokucoca kuphela kwaye akafanelekanga ukuselwa. Imigca yenziwa kwiikhitshi ezingxamisekileyo kunye neendawo zokunceda ukutya ezitratweni ezisagqunywe ludaka kunye nobutyobo.
UMirenchu del Valle Schaan, umongameli weSpain's Association of Insurance Companies wathi: “Sinokuqikelela ukuba sijamelene neyona ntlawulo inkulu ngesiganeko esinxulumene nemozulu eSpeyin.
Amawakawaka amavolontiya anceda amajoni kunye nokuqiniswa kwamapolisa ngomsebenzi omkhulu wokucoca udaka kunye nemoto eyonakeleyo engenakubalwa.
Imigangatho engaphantsi yamawakawaka amakhaya ayonakalisiwe. Ngaphakathi kwezinye zeenqwelo ezikhukuliswe ngamanzi okanye ezivaleleke kwiigaraji ezingaphantsi komhlaba, kwakusekho izidumbu ezisalindele ukuchongwa.
Unxunguphalo lolawulo lwentlekele lwaphela ngeCawe xa isihlwele ePaiporta ebethe nzima saphosa udaka kunye nezinye izinto kusapho lwasebukhosini baseSpain, iNkulumbuso uPedro Sánchez kunye namagosa ommandla xa babetyelela okokuqala kwindawo yomonakalo wezikhukula.
Kweneke ntoni?
Izivunguvungu zigxininise phezu kweMilambo yaseMagro kunye neTuria kwaye, kwi-canal yasePoyo, yavelisa iindonga zamanzi eziphuphumayo, zibamba abantu bengazi njengoko beqhubeka nobomi babo bemihla ngemihla ngoLwesibini kusihlwa nasekuqaleni ngoLwesithathu.

Ngokuqhwanyaza kweliso, la manzi anodaka agubungela iindlela noololiwe, aza angena ezindlwini nakumashishini akwiidolophu nakwiilali ezikumazantsi eValencia. Abaqhubi kwafuneka bazimele kuphahla lweenqwelo-mafutha, ngoxa abahlali babezimele kwiindawo eziphakamileyo.

Inkonzo yemozulu yelizwe laseSpain yathi kwindawo yaseChiva, imvula ine kakhulu kwiiyure ezisibhozo kunokuba ibinjalo kwiinyanga ezingama-20 ezidlulileyo, iwubiza umkhukula “ungaqhelekanga.” Eminye imimandla ekumazantsi angaphandle kwesixeko saseValencia ayizange ifumane mvula ngaphambi kokuba itshatyalaliswe ludonga lwamanzi olwaluphuphuma kwimijelo yokuhambisa amanzi.
Xa abasemagunyeni bathumela izilumkiso kwiimfonomfono ezilumkisa ngobunzulu bezikhukula yaye becela abantu ukuba bahlale emakhaya, abaninzi babesele besendleleni, besebenza okanye begqunywe ngamanzi kwiindawo ezisemagqagaleni okanye kwiigaraji ezingaphantsi komhlaba, ezathi zaba zizirhintyelo zokufa.
Kwakutheni ukuze kwenzeke ezi zikhukula zinkulu?
Izazinzulu ezizama ukucacisa okwenzekileyo zibona unxibelelwano olunokubakho kutshintsho lwemozulu olubangelwa ngumntu. Enye yeyokuba umoya ofudumeleyo ubamba uze ulahle imvula engakumbi. Olunye lutshintsho olunokwenzeka kumjelo wejethi - umlambo womoya ongaphezulu komhlaba ohambisa iinkqubo zemozulu kwihlabathi liphela - ovelisa imozulu embi.

Izazinzulu zemozulu kunye neengcali zemozulu zithe unobangela okhawulezileyo wezikhukula ubizwa ngokuba yinkqubo yesaqhwithi esisikiweyo esinoxinzelelo olusezantsi olusuka kumjelo wamaza ngokungaqhelekanga kunye nejethi emileyo. Loo nkqubo yasuka yamisa phezu kommandla yaza yagalela imvula. Oku kwenzeka rhoqo ngokwaneleyo kangangokuba eSpain bababiza ngokuba ziiDANA, isishunqulelo seSpanish senkqubo, izazi zemozulu zathi.

Kwaye kukho iqondo lobushushu eliphezulu ngokungaqhelekanga loLwandle lweMeditera. Ibinobushushu bayo bomhlaba obushushu kwirekhodi phakathi ku-Agasti, kwi-28.47 degrees Celsius (83.25 degrees Fahrenheit), utshilo uCarola Koenig weZiko loMngcipheko weZikhukula kunye noBuyiselo kwiYunivesithi yaseBrunel yaseLondon.
Isiganeko semozulu esibi kakhulu seza emva kokuba iSpeyin ilwa nembalela ehlala ixesha elide ngo-2022 kunye no-2023.
“Utshintsho lwemozulu luyabulala, kwaye ngoku, ngelishwa, sizibonela ngawabo amehlo,” utshilo uSánchez ngoLwesibini emva kokubhengeza iphakheji yoncedo ye-10.6 yebhiliyoni ye-euro koomasipala abangama-78 apho ubuncinci umntu omnye eswelekile.
Ngaba oku kwenzekile ngaphambili?
Unxweme lwaseSpain lwaseMeditera lusetyenziselwa ukuvuthuza kwekwindla ezinokubangela izikhukhula, kodwa esi siqendu sasisona sikhukhula sinamandla kummandla kwinkumbulo yakutshanje.
Abantu abadala basePaiporta, kwindawo yokuqala yentlekele, bathi izikhukhula zibi ngokuphindwe kathathu kunezo ze-1957, ezibangele ubuncinane abantu abangama-81. Eso siganeko sakhokelela ekuphambukeni komlambo waseTuria, nto leyo eyayithetha ukuba inxalenye enkulu yedolophu yayisindisiwe kwezi zikhukula.
I-Valencia yafumana ezinye ii-DANA ezimbini eziphambili kwi-1980s, enye ngo-1982 ngokufa malunga ne-30, kwaye enye iminyaka emihlanu kamva yaphula iirekhodi zemvula.

Kucacile ukuba iintlekele zemvelo ziya kusizisela ilahleko enkulu. Nangona singenakuthintela iintlekele zendalo ukuba zifike, sinokuphepha ilahleko ebangelwa yintlekele kwangaphambili kwaye sinciphise ukuba sincinci, oko kukuthi, ukusebenzisa i-sensor ukujonga idatha.

I-Doppler Radar Surface Flow Sensor yethu yeyona nzwa ifanelekileyo kuzo zonke iinkqubo zokujonga ukuhamba kwamanzi kunye nokusetyenziswa komlinganiselo. Ifaneleke ngokukodwa umlinganiselo wokuqukuqela kwiiflumes ezivulekileyo, imilambo namachibi kwakunye neendawo eziselunxwemeni. Sisisombululo sezoqoqosho ngokusebenzisa iindlela ezininzi kunye nezilula zokunyuka. Izindlu ze-IP 68 ezingenazikhukula ziqinisekisa umsebenzi osisigxina ongenakulungiswa. Ukusetyenziswa kobuchwephesha bokuvava okude kuphelisa ukufakela, ukubola kunye nemiba emdaka ehambelana nezinzwa ezintywiliselweyo. Ukongezelela, ukuchaneka kunye nokusebenza akuchaphazeli utshintsho kubuninzi bamanzi kunye neemeko ze-atmospheric.
