The Floods on the River Danube in 2006: Social Impact and Remedial Processes
The 2006 floods in the Danube basin affected Romania badly. The increased severity of flooding in recent years is partly explained by climatic change. This paper describes the events and their causes, before analyzing the measures since put in place to prevent a repetition of the disaster. These measures include improving dike security, providing more coordinated early warning and evacuation procedures, allowing localized controlled flooding, restoring wetlands and forests and installing dams for temporary flood storage.
