Fellow can row back to Wapping? Disaster (8)

I believe the answer is:

flooding

'disaster' is the definition.
(I know that flooding is a type of natural disaster)

'fellow can row back to wapping?' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'can' becomes 'loo' (slang).
'row' becomes 'din' (both can mean a loud disturbance).
'back to' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'wapping' is 'g'.
'f'+'loo'+'din'+'g'='FLOODING'

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
