Floods are one of the most common natural disasters that have accompanied humanity throughout history. However, due to pronounced climate change in recent decades, floods have become increasingly frequent and destructive. Climate change not only contributes to stronger precipitation due to increasingly warm oceans and, consequently, greater evaporation and moisture in the atmosphere, but also alters precipitation distribution patterns. Changes in precipitation distribution cause prolonged periods of drought followed by intense rainfall, which can overwhelm drainage systems and rivers, leading to flooding. Heavy or record rainfall events are becoming more frequent, and in recent years catastrophic floods have devastated many areas in Europe. Scientists warn that the risk of extreme floods will continue to grow if the world fails to limit global warming.
