Instead of stopping a flood from taking out a town, maybe build the outside of the flood plane. Eve is only a High School Graduate at this point. She may have an inherent understanding of Chemistry and Physics but she needs to study Architecture, City Planning, Logistics, Farming, Geography, Metrology, Climate Science. Now we have seen that she can turn objects into Gold, meaning she could flood the market with precious metals and destabilize the Economy (which honestly isn’t very stable to begin with).
Central banks already print money at will whenever it suits their purposes and destabilize the economy on a regular basis for it; the only change here is that normal people might actually benefit from Eve’s intervention.
