A [[1910 Great Flood of Paris|very severe period of high water]] in January 1910 resulted in extensive flooding throughout the city of Paris. The Seine again rose to threatening levels in 1924, 1955, 1982, 1999–2000, June 2016, and January 2018.<ref>[http://www.grid.unep.ch/product/publication/freshwater_europe/seine.php Seine river Basin] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070808200310/http://www.grid.unep.ch/product/publication/freshwater_europe/seine.php |date=8 August 2007}}, [[United Nations Environment Programme]] Department of Early Warning and Assessment (accessed 5 June 2007).</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/24/paris-flooding-alert-rising-seine-transport-disruption |title=Paris on flooding alert as rising Seine causes travel disruption |last=Willsher |first=Kim |date=24 January 2018 |newspaper=The Guardian}}</ref> After a first-level flood alert in 2003, about 100,000 works of art were moved out of Paris, the largest relocation of art since [[World War II]].
