Smale, A.J. (author)The Dutch Water Act (in Dutch: 'Waterwet 2009') stipulates that water boards must assess the quality of their primary water defences every six years. The Statutory Safety Assessment Suite (in Dutch: 'Wettelijk Toetsinstrumentarium', or shortly WTI) prescribes the rules to be applied. The WTI mainly comprises of the Safety Test Regulations (VTV),...report 2011

Caires, S. (author)In order to assess their relative merits in the context of the determinalion of Hydraulic Boundary Conditions (HBC), the Annual Maxima / Generalized Extreme Value distribution (AM/GEV) and Peaks over Threshold / Generalized Pareto Oislribution (POT/GPO) approaches are compared in terms of Iheir accuracy, as measured by mean square errors, in...report 2009

Kortenhaus, A. (author)This report describes the flood defence structures of the pilot site German Bight Coast and the overall probability of failure of all flood defences in the area. First, the flood prone area is briefly described as follows: ? the flood prone area ? the failures observed in the past ? an overview of all defence structures ? the flood defence...report 2009

Kanning, W. (author)Uncertainties are introduced in probabilistic risk analysis when we deal with parameters that are not deterministic (exactly known) but that are unknown instead, hence uncertain. This report describes how uncertainties influence the reliability of flood defence systems. The purpose of the study is to identify all uncertainties that influence the...report 2009

Schanze, J. (author)The report aims at describing the results of testing a methodology for composing, analysing and evaluating long-term futures of flood risk systems mainly considering scenarios of autonomous change as well as strategic alternatives for targeted flood risk reduction.report 2009

Tapsell, S. (author)Task 10 focuses on developing innovative methods to understand, model and evaluate socio-economic and ecological flood damages. The four main activities within the Task are: building a model to estimate risk to life modelling the damage-reducing effects of flood warnings toxic stress and use of the OMEGA modelling framework to predict...report 2009

Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Risk identification consists of defining the hazard, loss causing event E, probability P(E) of that event, perception Pe(E,P(E)) and consequences C(Pe) of that perception. Risk identification is followed by risk management, whose purpose is to mitigate the risks, for example by reducing P(E) or C(Pe) and providing suitable risk communication to...report 2009

Buijs, F. (author)The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of holes in the grass turf on the failure mechanisms and reliability analysis of dikes. The shape of the holes is either caused by a foreign object, a superficial void in the grass turf or a larger hole caused by for example animal burrowing or vandalism.report 2009

Meyer, V. (author)In this report we develop a GIS-based multicriteria flood risk assessment and mapping approach. This approach has the ability a) to consider also flood risks which are not measured in monetary terms, b) to show the spatial distribution of these multiple risks and c) to deal with uncertainties in criteria values and to show their influence on the...report 2009

Eijgenraam, C.J.J. (author)After the flood disaster in 1953 in the southwestern part of the Netherlands, Van Dantzig tried to solve the economic decision problem concerning the optimal height of dikes. His solution has a fixed probability of flooding after each investment (Econometrica, 1956). However, when there is economic growth, not the probability of flooding but the...report 2009

Long-term strategies for flood risk management: Scenario definition and strategic alternative designde Bruijn, K.; Klijn, F.;McGahey, C.; Mens, M.; Wolfer, H. (author)Flood risk management requires policy making for a relatively far and largely unknown future. Task 14 of Theme 2 in FLOODsite aims to provide methodological guidance on how to perform the design/development of long term strategic alternatives for flood risk management and how to assess their performance in different future scenarios. To begin...report 2008

Sanchez-Arcilla, A. (author)This Deliverable presents a summary of results obtained in Task 2: Estimation of Extremes of the EU (Framework Program 6) FLOODsite project. The report deals with the estimation of extremes for risk assessment in fluvial, coastal and estuarine environments. The approach, techniques and conclusions are, however, general enough to be of...report 2008

Tri, M.C. (author)In the low-lying coastal regions coastal defence structures are usually designed with a main function to protect the hinterland from highly vulnerable to coastal flooding. Sea dikes are usually the most common and important elements which form the coastal flood defence system. Sea dikes are designed at a pre-defined circumstance and requirement....report 2008
