Catral is a town in the Vega Baja with about eight thousand inhabitants, located on the Segura alluvial plain with the Hondo natural park wetlands just a few kilometres away. This proximity to the wetlands and the high water table in the area have real technical consequences for household installations. Ground-floor homes especially suffer from rising damp, outdoor electrical manholes flood during heavy rains, and electrical panels in semi-basement garages are at risk if precautions were not taken during installation.
