Abstract

Drainage constraints in the southern lobe of the Llobregat Delta are aggravated during coastal storms due to higher marine water levels and river-mouth blockage. The aim of this article is to identify the areas on the right bank of the River Llobregat that are most exposed to flooding. Remote sensing methods are used to discriminate agricultural and wetland areas flooded during Storm Gloria (January 2020). The results reveal flooding without river overflow, compromising the economic viability and ecological functions of the remaining undeveloped areas of this metropolitan delta. This situation is exacerbated by an increase in the frequency of sea storms and the relative rise in sea-level induced by global warming.
