As a reaction of the massive floods there was a discussion event of the Austrian TV station "ORF" with questions such as: What did Austria learn from 2002? Has the flood protection been adequately developed? Is there still being built, where actually should not be built anymore? Will floods be a constant threat to Austria in consequence to the climate change?
Ingrid Thurnher's guests included Professors Reinhold Steinacker from the University of Vienna, Helga Kromp-Kolb and Helmut Habersack from BOKU Vienna, and Gerfried Höpfner, former head of Zöbing / Langenlois.
