(author), Stoorvogel, Marte M. (author), van den Berg, M. (author), Kroeze, Carolien (author), van Loon-Steensma, Jantsje M. (author)Coastal flood managers seek to anticipate future flood risk and as a result consider the adaptation of flood defences. Instead of crest heightening, dikes can be adapted to include hydrodynamic reducing vegetated foreshores to form a nature-based hybrid flood defence, for instance; at managed realignments. In this study we investigated the...journal article 2024

Wüthrich, D. (author), Teng, Djimin (author), Ke, Q. (author), Diaz, Andres (author), Bortolotti, A. (author), Iuorio, Luca (author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author)In a world influenced by climate change and consequently sea-level rise, extreme floods are expected to become more frequent in the future, representing a serious threat for riverine and coastal settlements. Therefore, flood protection is a large component of climate adaptation and should be closely related to other measures of climate...conference paper 2022

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Yoshida, Y. (author), Bortolotti, A. (author), Iuorio, Luca (author)Spatial design integrates social, cultural, economic, and political perspectives with natural site conditions and man-made construction to plan for sustainable urban development. The current flood-risk-related challenges induced by climate change place pressure on designing cities in which both natural and man-made conditions can be imbalanced....book chapter 2022

Mouter, N. (author), Koster, Paul (author), Dekker, Thijs (author)Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) is a new survey method which elicits citizens' preferences over the allocation of public budgets as well as their private income. In a PVE, citizens are asked to choose the best portfolio of projects given a governmental and a private budget constraint. First, this paper aligns PVE with the traditional Kaldor...journal article 2021

Marijnissen, Richard (author), Kok, M. (author), Kroeze, Carolien (author), van Loon-Steensma, J.M. (author)Integrating natural components in flood defence infrastructure can add resilience to sea-level rise. Natural foreshores can keep pace with sea-level rise by accumulating sediment and attenuate waves before reaching the adjacent flood defences. In this study we address how natural foreshores affect the future need for dike heightening. A...journal article 2020

Lendering, K.T. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), van Ledden, Mathijs (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)Flood risk reduction can be provided by interventions such as raising land or constructing flood defences. This paper introduces an approach to optimise the selection of risk reduction strategies. It expands existing economic optimization approaches for flood defences, by introducing (largely) analytical formulations to include the effects of...journal article 2020

Raso, L. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Timmermans, Jos (author)Climate change raises serious concerns for policymakers that want to ensure the success of long-term policies. To guarantee satisfactory decisions in the face of deep uncertainties, adaptive policy pathways might be used. Adaptive policy pathways are designed to take actions according to how the future will actually unfold. In adaptive...journal article 2019

Raso, L. (author), Weijs, S. V. (author), Werner, M. (author)Uncertainty reduces reliability and performance of water system operations. A decision-maker can take action, accepting the present uncertainty and facing its risks, or reduce uncertainty by first obtaining additional information. Information, however, comes at a cost. The decision-maker must therefore efficiently use his/her resources,...journal article 2018

van Vuren, S. (author), de Vriend, H.J. (author), Barneveld, Hermjan (author)Over the course of centuries, river systems have been heavily trained for the purpose of safe discharge of water, sediment and ice, and improves navigation. Traditionally, dikes are used to be reinforced and heightened to protect countries from ever higher flood levels. Other types of solutions than technical engineering solutions, such as...journal article 2016

Hijma, M. (author), Van der Meij, R. (author), Lam, K.S. (author)The subsurface plays an important role when assessing flood risk and its build up has to be known in considerable detail to properly determine the chance of flood-protection failure. Currently, the subsurface below flood-protections is often characterized by geotechnical cross sections that are constructed using e.g. cone penetration tests (CPTs...conference paper 2015

Fliervoet, J.M. (author), Geerling, G.W. (author), Mostert, E. (author), Smits, A.J.M. (author)Until recently, governmental organizations played a dominant and decisive role in natural resource management. However, an increasing number of studies indicate that this dominant role is developing towards a more facilitating role as equal partner to improve efficiency and create a leaner state. This approach is characterized by complex...journal article 2015

De Bruijn, J.A. (author), De Bruijne, M.L.C. (author), Ten Heuvelhof, E.F. (author)An increased focus on the concept of resilience in flood protection has led to the development of a comprehensive flood protection strategy in the Netherlands which stresses the need to provide ‘Room for the River’ rather than building dykes. But how can a resilient solution in flood protection be successfully implemented? Using insights from...journal article 2015

Tsimopoulou, V. (author), Kok, M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)After the flood disaster of 1953, the Netherlands adopted a rational approach to flood risk management with the use of protection standards determined by means of cost-benefit analysis. Due to scientific and political developments that have recently taken place, an update of the Dutch protection standards is being undertaken. One of the major...journal article 2015

Schiereck, G.J. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)To resolve the flooding problems of Ho Chi Minh City, the possibilities for a large barrier downstream of the city are under study. In the final design stage a detailed 1-or 2-dimensional mathematical model is necessary to describe water levels and flow in the branches of the estuary system. The authors plea for the use of simple, first-order...conference paper 2012

Klijn, F. (author), Kok, M. (author), De Moel, H. (author)Especially in low-lying deltaic areas, a sound adaptation policy is urgently needed, because relying on a global mitigation policy for climate change is way too risky. Both the Netherlands policy response and our research therefore focus on adaptation. In the Netherlands, climate change is given due attention for about two decades already,...report 2012

A Climate Dike is defined here as a collective term for design components that result in flood defences so robust that they are virtually impossible to breach, and thus offer lasting protection, even in the face of ongoing climate change..

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
