Explanation

The type 2 conditional is used to refer to a hypothetical condition and its probable result. In type 2 conditional sentences, the if clause uses the simple past (removed), and the main clause uses the present conditional (would flow).

If this thing happened (If + simple past) that thing would happen or that thing would be happening (present conditional or present continuous conditional).
