"There are currently 50 000 large dams, 100 000 medium-sized dams, and 1 million small dams in the world. No other natural risk has proved to be more destructive and has resulted in a larger number of victims than floods. The most threatened countries are the least developed ones. I support UNEP’s recommendations on dealing with floods, according to which an improved land cultivation system should be combined with better water accumulation methods based on both traditional and more modern scientific knowledge. It is necessary to regenerate and renew key ecosystems, beginning with forests and ending with marshes. This will improve water supply, while these ecosystems will act as buffer zones against extreme climatic events, such as floods. The EU must support the construction of an infrastructure for dams. The conditions under which floods occur are not static and require a flexible approach, such as the improvement of the flood forecast system, improving the protection of buildings against flooding, the allocation of land for the containment of flood waters, and the construction of water drainage systems."@en1
