The same is taking place on a much grander scale in Austria, in one of Europe’s
 
largest river 
restorations to date. Engineers are regenerating flood plains along
 
60 kilometres of the river Drava as it exits 
the Alps. They are also widening the
 
river bed and channelling it back into abandoned meanders, oxbow 
lakes and
 
backwaters overhung with willows. The engineers calculate that the restored flood plain can now 
store up to 10 million cubic metres of flood waters and slow storm surges coming out of the Alps by more 
than an hour, protecting towns as far downstream as Slovenia and Croatia.

“Rivers have to be allowed to take more space. They have to be turned from
 
flood-chutes into 
flood-foilers,” says Nienhuis. And the Dutch, for whom
 
preventing floods is a matter of survival, have gone 
furthest. A nation built
 
largely on drained marshes and seabed had the fright of its life in 1993 when
 
the 
Rhine almost overwhelmed it. The same happened again in 1995, when a
 
quarter of a million people were 
evacuated from the Netherlands. But a new
 
breed of “soft engineers” wants our cities to become porous, and 
Berlin is their
 
shining example. Since reunification, the city’s massive redevelopment has
 
been governed by 
tough new rules to prevent its drains becoming overloaded
 
after heavy rains. Harald Kraft, an architect 
working in the city, says: “We now
