, passes through evacuated areas, but it is
causing a lot of material damage
, and if two days ago it was small, now it
has increased in size

The forecast is that this wash will not reach the sea soon, and if it did, it would not be necessary to evacuate the San Borondón neighborhood, in Tazacorte, because it is about 3,800 meters away, but it would affect the works that in Puerto Naos, in Los Llanos de Aridane, are carried out with desalination plants to supply water to crops in that area.
