When is the next flood of the century going to come? 🌊 | Good Question on flooding

This year has been one of the rainiest for a long time. In particular, the devastating flood in Ahrweiler and its consequences can hardly be ignored. In the fourth episode of “Good Question,” we ask if floods can be predicted, how well the population is informed about flood risks, and why flood protection demands that whole streets be raised.
