Abstract
On the basis of data from available historical sources and literature, the author analyzes the relationship between river Drava and people in Slavonia in 1914. It is also an analysis of the influence of rain and other rainfall on the interrelation between these environmental actors, floods and flooded areas around rivers and the regulation of the Drava and their tributaries. The author also writes about the centuries-old destruction of crops, arable land from rivers and floods. The rivers were important for the transport-economic connection with the rest of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and for the amusement during warmer months.
