background to the flood situation
flood events, as have been observed in the past few weeks and months, are often due to heavy rains or melting of snow. Global climate change affects the number of these events because a warmer atmosphere can store more water, which leads to an increase in rainfall. In addition, heavy rain events have become more common in recent years.

In addition, more than a third of all flowing waters in Germany belong to the "significantly changed" category, which concerns the decline in natural flood areas. Statista deals with flood issues .
