Experienced a river flooding due to excessive rainfall. Both on a small scale on a camping where some tents floated away, which was kind of funny because the owners had warned not to pitch the tents to close to the river.

More recently witnessed a large scale flooding last winter when large parts of the rhine flooded. There were no casualties in my region, but the damage was quite severe. Very sobering to see the death toll in the upstream regions. Also the impact to agriculture and infrastructure, with frequent rain keeping the ground fully saturated for months al the way up to summer.

Water is so vital for human civilization, and yet also very dangerous.

    Not going to happen without breaking the current treaties. And for all the headlines, there is very little actual plans presented by the current dutch right wing government. Making such wild moves impossible if they dont want to do anything incredibly stupid.
