Drought and floods: how the threat of water provides a response<\/h1>\n

Floods and droughts are becoming more frequent and more intense due to climate change. These two extremes, a shortage or abundance of water, have serious consequences for people and nature, often with a drastic economic impact. In summer\u00a02021, extreme rainfall in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany caused \u20ac38\u00a0billion worth of damage. In 2024, low water levels in the Rhine due to prolonged drought disrupted supply lines in Europe.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
