"No other natural hazard has proved more destructive to property or cost more human lives than floods over the past century, despite the billions of dollars spent on flood management. The development of decentralised water infrastructure is a prerequisite for water security in Africa and for meeting the targets of the Millennium Development Goals. Improved storage methods are needed to enable a sufficient water supply during droughts and to retain excessive water during periods of flooding. The current average per capita storage capacity in Africa is about 200 cubic metres a year, much less than that of developing countries in other regions. The text voted on today highlights the need to adopt a multi-pronged flood strategy in regions where unstable glacial lakes pose a critical threat of flooding."@en1
