Abstract

Just as floods are one of the extreme manifestations of the water cycle in nature, flood protection is a process that is endless for human civilization. It began in the distant past and will, unfortunately, be with very uncertain results, part of every other stage of the society’s development. Currently, the theme of floods resonates much more than it has been in the past, mainly thanks to the considerable media coverage that contributes to making more people realize this issue.
