Russia, Kazakhstan Battle Worst Flooding in Nearly a Century | Firstpost Earth
Russia and Kazakhstan are battling record floods after last week, several rivers - including the Ural, Europe's third-largest - burst their banks due to rapidly melting snow and ice causing them to swell. Water levels in the Ural River near Orenburg rose to over 10 metres. The deluge of meltwater has forced more than 100,000 people from their homes in Russia and Kazakhstan. The Kremlin has said Russian President Vladimir Putin will soon have a video call with the emergency minister and the governors of the flooded regions to discuss the situation. Experts say a significant reason for the floods can be attributed to seasonal variations and climate change.
