Area of Augsburg - Administrator advocates for enhanced flood defenses in district
Local Bavarian Administrator, Hans Reichhart (CSU), pushes for swift action on flood control measures. "Ideological debates about the utility of dams should now be put to rest," he said to the "Augsburger Allgemeine" (Weekend edition). "The money spent on damages could have funded numerous dam constructions." Dams and reservoirs are a sensible move. "We need to show resolve: We are dedicated, we are building now," commented the administrator. Furthermore, holding tanks are also essential along smaller streams and rivers, as well as increasing staff in water management offices.
