Arques In Northern France Hit By Flooding From River Aa

ARQUES, HAUTS-DE-FRANCE, FRANCE - JANUARY 4: A man uses a dingy to return home while a zodiac from the Civil defense is seen in the flooded by the Aa river rue Voltaire on January 4, 2024 in Arques, Pas-de-Calais, France. A state of danger (red alert) was declared in Pas-de-Calais on January 2 after river Aa burst its banks, following several days of bad weather in Northern France. The Aa delta, in Hauts de France, is in principle protected from flooding by an old network of canals, but it is now struggling to fulfill its mission in the face of climate change.
