The initial considerations of the directive 2007/60 The solidarity principle is very important in the context of flood risk management. In the light of it Member States should be encouraged to seek a fair sharing of responsibilities, when measures are jointly decided for the common benefit, as regards flood risk management along water courses

Ma ascolta le mie parole: la conoscenza infatti accrescerà la mente Come infatti già prima ho detto preannunciando i limiti delle mie parole, duplice cosa dirò: talvolta l’uno si accrebbe a un unico essere da molte cose, talvolta di nuovo molte cose si distinguono da un unico essere fuoco e acqua e terra e l’infina altezza dell’aria e la Contesa funesta da essi disgiunta, ugualmente tutt’intorno librata, e l’Amicizia tra essi, eguale in lunghezza e larghezza Ma tu ascolta l’ordine che non inganna del mio discorso. Tutte queste cose sono eguali e della stessa età, ma ciascuna ha la sua differente prerogativa e ciascuna il suo carattere, e a vicenda predominano nel volgere del tempo. E oltre ad esse nessuna cosa si aggiunge o cessa di esistere: se infatti si distruggessero del tutto, già non sarebbero più; e quale cosa potrebbe accrescere questo tutto? E donde è venuta? e dove le cose si distruggerebbero, dal momento che non vi è solitudine di esse Ma esse son dunque queste e passando le une attraverso le altre, divengono ora queste ora quelle sempre eternamente eguali. The philosopher Empedocles asserts that the reunification of natural elements like water, air, ground and fire occurs through friendship Agrigento 490 a.c. circa-430 a.c. circa
