According to Robert Ballard, a marine explorer, there is an evidence of a catastrophic flood that happened 7500 years ago in the Black Sea at about 170 meters deep that is possible effects of “Noah’s Flood”
The study analysis of the floods throughout the last century confirms a steadily increasing tendency of damages caused by floods worldwide, one of the main causes being the irrational use of the river valleys and the increase of the economic activity in risk-prone areas [5]
Summary
There is a steadily increasing trend in losses due to flooding. global warming, followed by an inevitable overuse of river valleys might further contribute to an increase in the frequency and destructive power of floods. It is quite important to trace the cause and effect chain of the economic, social and ecological impacts during the flood hazard. A bibliographic research was carried out by using historical and descriptive methods based on the keywords, underlining the medical, social and economic significance of the present issue. The floods occurring in the Republic of Moldova have conditioned the need to increase interventions for prevention and reduction of both economic and human losses both at national and international levels.
