BBC NEWS | Business | Germany Gears Up For Flood Costs
The German government, keen not to be seen as tight-fisted in an election year, promises a generous response to patch up flood damage.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/2197107.stm

Extractions: As Germany's flood waters reach historic peaks, the country's authorities are scrambling to cope with the economic effects of the crisis. Germany's finance ministry announced that it was considering a range of tax breaks for flood victims - a move that would see current government aid commitments of 385m euros (Ѓ246m; $378m) multiplied many times over. At the same time, the labour ministry said it was drafting in some 5,000 of the country's 4 million unemployed to help in affected areas, so far mainly in the east and south of the country. But economists predict that the German economy, a sluggish performer so far this year, could in fact be modestly boosted by the reconstruction effort. There is also speculation that the European Union may allow the country some leeway in the budget deficit limits agreed for the eurozone.
BBC NEWS | Europe | Prague Battles Flood Waters
The Vltava river is on the brink of bursting through flood barriers in the Czech capital, as more people flee their homes across the country.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/2192288.stm

Extractions: BBC Prague correspondent Ray Furlong The emergency services have reopened parts of the Old Town to tourists, suggesting that fears have subsided. But elsewhere in the city, an embankment was cleared of people as the river started to seep through flood barriers. Water has also been rising through the sewers, and the basement of the National Theatre has been flooded. Some of the animals in Prague Zoo have also fallen victim to the floods.
BBC NEWS | Europe | Czechs Return To Flooded Homes
Some people returned home as flood waters in Prague receded, but many areas of the historic city remained off-limits after the worst flooding in 200 years.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/2198767.stm

Extractions: As the flood waters in the Czech capital of Prague recede some residents have been allowed to return home - to begin clearing up layers of thick mud. Others in evacuation areas have not been so lucky, as large parts of the city remain under water. The overflowing River Vltava assaulted Prague earlier this week, causing the worst flooding in 200 years, as rising waters brought damage and deaths to places across central Europe. The floodwaters left a thick coating of mud The head of the European Commission, Romano Prodi, visited Prague to survey the billions of dollars worth of damage, and the EU has already pledged about $50m in aid. But that is expected to cover just a fraction of the cost of repairing homes and businesses across the Czech Republic, where the rising waters have forced 200,000 to flee their homes. The surge of water that inundated parts of Prague is now sweeping downstream to the River Elbe and adding to the flooding in the historic German city of Dresden, where about 14 people have been killed.

Extractions: Published: June 21, 2009 The last time Bell was this close to the river, he was on a small boat, navigating the submerged streets of Kingston. Bell, of London, England, was an exchange student at Wyoming Seminary in 1972. On June 23, 1972, the Susquehanna River, swollen with rain from Hurricane Agnes, surged over its levees. Bell, still friends with several of his Wyoming Seminary classmates, visited Wilkes-Barre this week for a wedding. He spent Saturday afternoon at the River Common, enjoying its opening celebration and the nearby RiverFest. RiverFest 2009 began with a deluge of water. A rainstorm doused festival volunteers early Saturday morning. The rain stopped Saturday afternoon, leaving behind mud and puddles but bringing hundreds of people to the riverbank. Melissa Boub of Hudson brought her children, Kara, 7, and Ryan, 6, to the festival on Saturday.

Extractions: People are hoping that it does not rise further and inundate parts of the town. I am standing beside the River Danube, here in Bratislava, against a great wall of sandbags in front of us. Just to my left two policemen are just checking the water level, which at the moment is slightly less than a metre below the top of the sandbags. In front of me I can see cruise ships moored with strong steel cables to the shore.
Flood Geology - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
A Wikipedia site describing the history of flood geology, the processes and mechanisms involved and its effect on the age of the earth. The site also has some scientific and philosophical objections to the concept.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_geology

Extractions: Particular religious views Deist Hindu Islamic Jewish ... e Flood geology (also creation geology or diluvial geology ) interprets the geological history of the Earth in terms of the global flood described in Genesis 6т9 . Similar views played a part in the early development of the science of geology , even after the Biblical chronology had been rejected by geologists in favour of an ancient Earth. Modern flood geologists, who are almost always Young Earth creationists regard the historicity of the bible as unimpeachable. Flood geology contradicts the scientific consensus in geology, physics, chemistry, molecular genetics, evolutionary biology, archaeology, and paleontology, and the scientific community considers the subject to be pseudoscience. Biblical basis ... That fossils were from organisms that were killed and buried during the brief duration of the Flood was once believed by many Christians (including
Global Flood Geology

Extractions: Geology and the Flood of Noah PowerPoint Lesson ... Flood Geology on the CreationWiki "If I, as a geologist, were called upon to explain briefly our modern ideas of the origin of the earth and the development of life on it to a simple, pastoral people, such as the tribes to whom the Book of Genesis was addressed, I could hardly do better than follow rather closely much of the language of the first chapter of Genesis." Wallace Pratt, quoted by W.L. Copithorne, in "The Worlds of Wallace Pratt," The Lamp, Fall 1971, p. 14. Our world is completely covered in monumental flood sediments such as those visible in the walls of the Grand Canyon, or in the photograph at right taken in Utah. According to Genesis 6-8 and the Biblical chronology , approximately 4500 years ago there was a global flood that destroyed all terrestrial life on earth, except for those which were stored on the ark by Noah and his family. It is therefore the basic assumption of most

Extractions: For many years, creationists claimed that a set of human tracks were found alongside dinosaur tracks in the Paluxy riverbed near Glen Rose, Texas. However, due in large part to the diligent investigative and scientific work of Glen Kuban, even most creationists now doubt the authenticity of the "man tracks".
US Flood Control: Flood & Oil Spill Protection Equipment Tiger Dams
Emergency flood control and protection system, easy to assemble, reusable and environmentally friendly, to divert up floodwaters and protect properties from flooding disasters without the use of sandbags.

Extractions: Contact Home News BP Oil Spill Response The Tiger Dams can be laid out in a straight line or zig-zagged in any shape to avoid or go around sensitive wetlands, beaches, and barrier islands as not to interfere with local wildlife or fragile ecosystems. The top tube on the pyramid is a special containment unit that is initially pumped with water, but may be emptied in less than five minutes, ready to be pumped full of gooey oil and muddy debris that may wash up against the dam itself. Made from American fabric and delivered directly from our warehouse in Kenner, Louisiana, Tiger Dams are fifty foot by nineteen inch cylindrical tubes that can be stacked in a pyramid shape up to thirty-two feet high and interconnected to form a barrier along the shoreline of infinite length. Their environmentally-friendly design is a major benefit for this application in that they can be removed without leaving any footprint.

Flooding In Western Ukraine
Account of a serious flooding in Khust area in November 1998.
http://www.lifenets.org/ukraine99/flood98.htm

Extractions: November 1998 November 28, 1998 I have been receiving reports from my friends in Transcarpathia about serious flooding that has destroyed more than 1300 homes (more than 50 in Khust where we work) on November 5-6th. Unceasing rains brought a wall of water into the normally beautiful Tissa Valley. More than a dozen people have been swept away. The biggest problem now is the homelessness. The photos in this report illustrate some of the flood damage. In January 1999, 24 of us are going to this part of Ukraine on a medical mission. You can read about this mission by clicking here . Also, we are sending a 20 ton container of life-sustaining humanitarian aid here. The bridge across the Tissa River has been swept away. Downstream in Chop, where we cross into Ukraine from Hungary, the water was more than 40 feet above flood stage. I also received a FAX dated November 10 through George August in Long Beach, California who has relatives in Western Ukraine who report as follows: "Nobody of the old people remember such a flood in Transcarpathia. In Korolevo 101 houses are ruined, 100 are about to fall down. In Mukachevo the

Extractions: document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + (document.location.protocol == "https:" ? "https://sb" : "http://b") + ".scorecardresearch.com/beacon.js' %3E%3C/script%3E")); China has had a particularly long and terrible history of flooding. In the last 2000 years, the Yangtze River has flooded more than 1000 times. But it is the Hwang Ho or "Yellow River" that has been responsible for China's most catastrophic floods. Three thousand miles long, it begins high above sea level in the northern mountain province of Qinghai and ends at the Yellow Sea. Westerners have dubbed it "China's Sorrow," because over the centuries it has killed more people than any other river in the world. In 1887 flooding killed nearly two million people, in 1931 the death toll was almost four million, and in 1938 it was almost one million. Attempts at controlling the Yellow River were begun as early as the third century B.C. An engineer named Yu came up with the idea of dredging the river to encourage the water to flow in its proper channel. Yu was made Emperor of China for his contribution, but managing the river's silt would continue to be an ongoing challenge. Over the years, the Chinese have tried to control the Yellow River by building higher levees, digging channels and building dams. Dams have tended to be the most helpful in controlling floods, but the river's thick silt has clogged many of them. Currently, the Chinese are constructing a massive new dam called the Xiaolangdi Multipurpose Dam Project. Boasting 10 intake towers, nine flood and sediment tunnels, six power tunnels and an underground powerhouse, the structure may finally mitigate "China's Sorrow."
