People learning that intensively farming right beside the river and removing all the trees from the banks probably wasn't the smartest idea.

The Germans will be fine, they clean up well.

In year 1717 on the night of December 24 and 25 about 40000 people and animals drowned in Germany, Holland and Denmark. The death rate from natural catastrophes has dropped 90% the last century. How did that happen?

[rajibmajumder]

It should be resolved so that it does not happen in the future.

I greatly regret the death and the difficulties brought on by the floods.
HOWEVER
If you build on a river FLOOD plain, don't be surprised if you find a river flowing threw your house and your car floating way, during a flood.
The clue is n the name, FLOOD PLAIN. There is a flood plain because the river has flooded there before. Therefor it is not new or unprecedented.
