A stochastic model approach for optimisation of lowland river restoration works

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...

Analyzing collaborative governance through social network analysis: A case study of river management along the Waal river in The Netherlands

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...

Klimaatdijk: Een verkenning

The Climate Dike is a logical addition to the current practice of raising and reinforcing dikes. 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.. The...

Principles and guidelines for the environmental protection of drainage basins prone to flash floods: Experimental intervention in a pilot drainage basin

The second Chapter refers to the institutional and legislative framework, that is, the laws in force at the different levels, from local to global, in each partner’s country and concludes with considerations on optimal levels of coordination. Chapter III begins with the methodology recommended for the study of small-medium basins, based upon the...
