Summary:Based on the archive material, published chronicles and literature, the author follows the flooding of the Drava in Slavonia and Baranja from 18th to 20th century. High levels of water and a chaotic condition was particularly emphasized by the chronicler's remark dating to early 19th century: »Leave it all and save the very life«. The paper describes the consequences of the floods on the economy and the water traffic of the area, and reflects on embankment works, in most cases unsuccessful defense attempts in building embankments, dikes and causeways.
