11.11.12.

The Department of emergency situations urgently requested the Geological Survey of Murcia to assess the cause of the "huge cracks in ground", which appeared after the recent heavy rains in the industrial zone of "El Saladar", Totana. The crack extends along the industrial park in the direction of the sport city "Valverde Reina"; It has a length of more than 300 meters and a depth of more than two metres in some places. Crack appeared two days ago and opens gradually in recent days, reaching a width of 40 to 50 cm in some places.

Recall, that in the past month in area Puerto Lumbreras, has already appeared a land crack 1.5 kilometers in length.
