As a result, houses, work offices, shopping facilities, and
parks were under water. The flooding of the river has created
problems, especially with traffic.
Ferry flights were postponed due to flooding of ports, and the
movement of cargo ships was limited. The movement of ships carrying
fuel has been temporarily suspended, which has led to an increase

Germany was recorded in 2021. Then the water level in the Rhine
exceeded 8 meters, resulting in the death of 135 people.
