If densely populated areas are at a risk, still heightening of dikes or the implementation of technical measures is a solution. Especially in urban areas space along the riverbanks is very much limited and therefore, barriers along the river promenade in combination with footpaths or other combination of functions can be a useful option. Cities along rivers should carefully look right now whether planning with the river or water in the city can prevent future problems. Maybe a new consciousness or attitude to floods of the people living in a catchment can contribute to this.
