PREDICTIONS
Hard engineering: levees, flood barriers, control channels, dams (effective but costly and environmentally impactful).
Soft engineering: afforestation, controlled flooding of meadows, and storage basins.
River management: straightening, widening, and dredging channels; clearing vegetation.
Land-use planning: building on higher ground, avoiding floodplains, increasing green areas.

House adaptations, e.g., placing power sockets 1.5 m above ground level.
