Some countries in East Europe: Serbia and Bosnia, are experiencing destructive floods. What systems would be needed to prevent sudden severe floods?

When I browsed, I find a few links:

Is your expertise in this area? What systems would be needed to prevent sudden severe floods, in places that do not normally experience this phenomenon? Can you provide some helpful suggestions, so that water is a useful commodity, rather than a 'foe'?

By today, was the level of the rivers still too high, or has it decreased?

Was there any danger caused by the landmines, to anyone, today?
