The Angles ravine, in the hamlet of Ramonete, is infamous for the death in 2000 of a woman and her son when his car was swept away by a flood while crossing this place.

To stop flooding in several houses in the center of population of priests, the CHS has returned a water channel leading to the Rambla de Ramonet, whose deviation from the year 1987.
In particular, it has channeled a mile from the ravine by breakwater Angles to its confluence with the above Ramonete boardwalk.
This is a trapezoidal channeling of 1,038 meters long, capable of accommodating a flow of 10.3 cubic meters per second.
The work has also provided a service road with a length of 335 meters with two lanes of 2.5 meters wide each.
The return period of the new channel, the study produced historic floods in the area, is 50 years.
