Answer

What kind of maintenance do Mallorca torrents need after flood protection works?

Torrents need regular checks before the rainy season, along with cleaning of culverts, debris traps and sediment buildup. Maintenance matters because branches, rubbish and washed-up material can block even a wider channel. Long-term funding and clear responsibility are just as important as the construction itself.
