Abstract:
Throughout history, floods have killed more people and caused more widespread destruction than any kind of event other than war. A catastrophic flood in China in 1931 is believed to have resulted in four million deaths, making it the world's worst ever natural disaster. This program examines the causes of floods, the havoc they wreak and what, if anything, can be done to protect against them.
