Abstract
A study of the morphology of the basin adjacent to a projected construction site revealed that this building and others nearby could suffer serious damage in the event of flash flooding. In order to evaluate this risk, a number of factors were calculated; the amount of water that could fall onto the basin in case of extraordinary precipitation, the permeability of the soils and regoliths, the retention capacity of the vegetation, etc. After studying a number of possible solutions it was decided that a drainage gallery should be built. The dimensions and layout of this gallery would guarantee adequate drainage, make periodic cleaning possible and improve the geotechnic conditions in the area adjacent to the building site. A number of other recommendations were made with special emphasis on the importance of conserving the soils, regoliths and vegetation of the basin. Now that the project has been completed and a period of time has passed, it can be asserted that the proposed solution has functioned perfectly without any unforeseen problems.

Summary
A study of the morphology of the basin adjacent to a projected construction site revealed that this building and others nearby could suffer serious damage in the event of flash flooding. After study ing a number of possible solutionSj it was decided that a drainage gallery should be built. The dimensions and layout of this gallery would guarantee adequate drainage, make periodic cleaning possible and improve the geotechnic conditions in the área adjacent to the building site. Que a continuación se resume, mostró que llevar a cabo las construcciones sin establecer un sistema de drenaje suficiente implicaba aceptar importantes riesgos, que podrían traducirse no solamente en daños más o me-. Una clara manifestación de este riesgo se tuvo en agosto de 1983, si bien en la zona concreta no hubo desgracias personales y los daños económicos fueron relativamente reducidos
