River valley

35°49′27″N 14°30′46″E Wied il-Kbir (English: Big Valley) is a wadi located in Birzebbuga, Malta. The name "Wied" indicates the existence of water although there is little water present due to a substantial amount of refuse being thrown into the valley causing rain water to head into the ocean.[1] To combat this, catchments for water were planned between July 2022 and May 2021.[2] The valley consists mostly of urban development and arable land, with 3% of it being dedicated to mineral extraction and natural areas.[3]
