Para resolver el problema de las inundaciones, la Sociedad Estatal Aguas de las Cuencas Mediterráneas (ACUAMED) ha elaborado un proyecto que contempla la construcción de un túnel para el desagüe de las aguas de la Balsa del Sapo en el caso de avenidas. Este túnel de 7,5 km de longitud continúa en canal hasta desaguar al mar con una anchura de 100 m, junto al espigón situado a Levante del Puerto de Almerimar.

This paper focuses on the historical evolution of the dune system since the beginning of the 20th century by studying the available cartographic and photographic material, analyzing the different phases, the mechanisms and natural agents governing the dune behaviour and the implications arising from the activities in the area. The intervention on the dune corridor started in the early 1940s and has conditioned the evolution of all the processes in the physiographic region. The current dune morphodynamics is explained by the sediment budget. The system receives sand from the submerged zone, which is transported by westerly wind waves. This material accumulates and widens the dry beach. The easterly winds erode the sediment in the dry beach and transports it to the dune. In the last fifty years, the dry beach (fetch) has grown, on average, over 150<!--> <!-->m and the system stores enough sand to sustain these transport mechanisms for decades.

The flood lasts for several days affecting important cities like Trinidad, drowning people, drowning cattle and swamping arable land. Because of the cloudy skies, remote sensing observations are limited to some areas and few days. Thus, there is huge uncertainty about characteristics of flood events and possible consequences. Two-dimensional (2D) numerical simulation proved to be an important tool for understanding flood events. The HEC-RAS model is one of the most popular hydraulic models. In 2014 a new version of HEC-RAS (HEC-RAS-v5) was released including 2D capabilities. The present study applied the new HEC-RAS-v5 to simulate the February 2014 flood event in the Bolivian Amazonia. The flood simulated shows good performance when compared with satellite image of the flood event. In addition, the simulation provides information like water depth, flow velocity and a temporal variation of the flood. Specific locations where water begins to overflow were identified. Over most of the flooded area the water velocity is lower than 0.25<!--> <!-->m<!--> <!-->s<sup>−1</sup>. During first ten days of the flood the flood extent increases rapidly. The flood depth allows identifying areas exposed to different hazard levels.

The flood that threatens the city of Trinidad originates in two locations; one located 32<!--> <!-->km at the north and other located 10<!--> <!-->km at the south west. The flood from the north gets close to Trinidad twelve days after it begins to overflow, while the flood from the south gets close to Trinidad seven days after it begins to overflow.

Thus, water borne and vector borne diseases may originate at the south earlier than the north. The city of San Javier gets covered by flood five days after the water begins to overflow.
